Masked Singer fans convinced there are TWO soap icons on the show – and one of them is Bush
THE Masked Singer viewers have been left guessing over characters again, but there’s two they are ‘sure’ of and they’re more closely linked than you think.
As Saturday night’s show drew to a close, viewers weren’t just shocked at The Masked Singer‘s Toad in the Hole being unmasked as Macy Gray but they were also adamant over the identity of two singers.
Bear was the first to perform on the show with their version of Miami by Will Smith, and whilst last week viewers guessed everything from Sir Ian McKellen to Michael Sheen it was different this week.
This week viewers were convinced Bear is EastEnders actor Richard Blackwood, who is also known for his rapping skills outside of the BBC soap.
The guesses came in thick and fast for the soap actor and TV presenter as one viewer wrote on X: “Bear is deffo richard Blackwood his middle name is Clifford.”
Another posted: “Im here for the Richard Blackwood. Didn’t he release a song that could have gone to number 1?”
Yet this guess wasn’t the only one they left in soapland, as viewers also think another singer could have a drama connection.
Bush took to the stage with an impressive performance, but fans believe they had definitely worked out who the mysterious shrub could be.
Fan have put forward their theories, with many believing Bush to be EastEnders actress Natalie Cassidy.
One viewer shared their thoughts on X: “Natalie Cassidy has to be Bush. She was in season 9 of the house.. Big Brother…”
Another shared: “Bush is Natalie Cassidy. Not changing my guess!”
“Bush has gotta be Natalie Cassidy if it’s not I’ll go insane,” said a third.
The guesses come as the show concluded with US singer Macy Gray unveiled after the panel opted to save Bear at the end of week two’s Holiday show.
Yet when her character Toad in the Hole realised they were going home, they immediately stormed off stage, leaving the panel’s mouths hanging wide open in shock.
The Sun has revealed how the show was left in chaos by the move and were left scrambling for nearly an hour to coax Macy back on stage – none of which was seen on screen.
When Toad did eventually return to the stage and take off their mask, Macy turned and looked absolutely furious and upset.
The Masked Singer airs on ITV1 and is available on ITVX.
