Masked Singer in fakery row as fans accuse judges of pretending not to know ‘obvious’ voice
FANS of The Masked Singer UK are accusing the hit show of being fake after spotting a clue as to why.
The hit show aired once again this evening on ITV, with the cute little Bush as the first character to croon a song.
Fans of the show are convinced that after a few clues – and an unmistakable voice – they have rumbled the identity of Bush.
And many fans are sure that the judges are pretending to not know who is the celebrity behind the mask is, on purpose.
Viewers think that EastEnders star Natalie Cassidy is the celebrity behind the disguise of Bush after they performed a rendition of Our House by Madness.
“That is SO obviously Natalie Cassidy,” one person penned before adding how they think the judges “must be pretending if they’re saying it might be somebody else”.
They concluded: “The show is a joke #maskedsingeruk.”
Another added: “Everyone in the UK knows that Bush is Natalie Cassidy, except these judges apparently.”
While a third penned: “How do they not hear that it’s Natalie Cassidy?! Especially now with the Dean clue ..Dean Gaffney, come on people! #MaskedSingerUK.”
MAJOR CLUES SPOTTED
Meanwhile, another viewer detailed each of the clues that point towards Bush being Natalie.
“Bush is such a cute character and fun performer,” penned the X user, adding: “Letter of acceptance from the Dean… Gaffney?
“Our House in the middle of Albert Square?
“More references to Australia – ‘Roo’, ‘wild’, ‘koala’ – who did a show called Wild In Australia? Natalie Cassidy! @ThisisDavina #MaskedSingerUK.”
And many other fans are in agreement.
“If Bush isn’t Natalie Cassidy I’d be stunned,” penned one fan after Bush’s performance on Saturday night.
DISTINCTIVE VOICE
“Has to be Natalie Cassidy from EastEnders as the Bush on. That voice is so distinctive,” said another.
Who has left The Masked Singer 2025 so far?
Much to the delight of telly fans, The Masked Singer is back in 2025.
Twelve celebrities have been hidden behind intricate costumes, with their identities concealed.
Sadly, not all of this year’s whacky and wonderful characters can make it to the end of the show, as there can only be one winner.
Here’s who has been unmasked so far:
Teeth – this character baffled judges and viewers with their changing voice. They were finally unmasked as former Bake Off host Mel Giedroyc. None of the panel managed to guess it was her.
Tattoo – despite Davina McCall saying “you sound the same” after this character was unmasked, none of the judges guessed it was 80s singer Carol Decker, whose hit China In Your Hand was a No1 hit for five weeks
Toad In The Hole – a massive diva strop saw the character storm off the stage after the judges voted them off. They later returned to be unmasked as singer Macy Gray
Pegasus – the mythical horse was revealed to be Prue Leith, with judge Jonathan Ross correctly guessing her identity
Spag Bol – this character was first to be unmasked and was none other than Good Morning Britain host Kate Garraway.
Plus there was one extra unmasking this season, with Giant Joel – a caricature of host Joel Dommett – unveiled as double-double Olympic champion Sir Mo Farah.
While a third added: “I’m thinking Bush is Natalie Cassidy AKA Sonia from Eastenders judging by the voice.”
And a fourth said: “Bush is Natalie Cassidy AKA Sonia Fowler and I will be not be convinced or told otherwise.”
Natalie Cassidy, 41, has played the role of Sonia Fowler in EastEnders since 1993.
The Islington-born star is currently the front runner for being unveiled as Bush when the time comes.
But not everyone thinks Natalie is Bush, with other guesses including the likes of Kerry Godliman and Morgana Robinson.
And fans are continuing to slam the judges for “pretending” to not know who the celebrities are.
“They’ve obviously been told not to say who it is if it’s too obvious, because Jonathan Ross knows that’s not Vic Reeves, it’s clearly his friend Harry Hill,” penned one after Kingfisher performed on Saturday.
