The Masked Singer fans claim they have rumbled Bush’s idenтιтy as they say it is ‘laughably obvious’ – after star’s huge career move

The Masked Singer returned on Saturday for the quarter-final and another two contestants were sent packing. 

Viewers were left stunned after Kingfisher was revealed to be artist Sir Grayson Perry, 64, while Snail was unveiled as singer Andrea Corr, 50.

The results meant that heading into next week’s semi-final are Wolf, Bush, Bear, Dressed Crab and Pufferfish.

But viewers are convinced they’ve unmasked one of their idenтιтies. 

Fans have spent weeks speculating as to who Bush could be and the name on everyone’s lips is EastEnders star Natalie Cᴀssidy. 

The fan speculation comes after Natalie revealed she was quitting her beloved role in the BBC soap as Sonia Fowler – which she has played for over three decades.

Convinced they had unmasked the star, fans said on X, formerly Twitter: ‘Why is no one saying bush is Natalie Cᴀssidy?! It so clearly is,’;

‘Shalimar! Woop Bush sounds like Natalie Cᴀssidy,’; ‘Bush is definitely Natalie Cᴀssidy,’;

‘Bush is so obviously Natalie Kᴀssidy it’s getting stupid now. They must all know it. Harry Hill and her are laughably obvious and yes that is Gregory Porter too,’;

‘Bush again is Natalie Cᴀssidy… how don’t the judges not hear her voice?’; ‘I think Bush is Natalie Cᴀssidy,’;

‘Natalie Cᴀssidy is bush I watched Eastenders for years. Voice is so obvious for me,’;

‘Bush Natalie Cᴀssidy aka Sonia,’; ‘Bush sounds like Sonia from #EastEnders #NatalieCᴀssidy,’;

‘If Bush isn’t Natalie Cᴀssidy then I’ll throw my tv out the window,’; ‘Bush is definitely Natalie Cᴀssidy and omg she’s a brilliant singer,’;

‘Natalie Cᴀssidy is the bush on the masked singer, hands down, end of story. Go on Sonia.’

After her idenтιтy was unveiled on Saturday night’s show, Andrea, the lead singer of Celtic pop rock group The Corrs, quipped: ‘I had such a good time, everyone’s been lovely, it’s been really joyous. I wanted to do it for the children.’

She added that she ‘loved’ her glittery pink costume and hadn’t told a single person she was taking part in the ITV compeтιтion.

Meanwhile, Sir Grayson agreed that he had a ‘lovely time embracing the spirit of the show’. 

The judges were way off with their guesses for the artist as they believed Kingfisher could be comedian Harry Hill or Joe Lycett.

One of Snail’s clues gave the game away to some viewers early, as she waved around a fan with the name ‘Jane’ emblazoned on it, which is Andrea’s middle name.

However, the panel didn’t seem to pick up on it as Mo Gilligan guessed she could be Jane McDonald, and Jonathan Ross suggested Sugababes singer Heidi Range.

And Davina McCall suggested All Saints’ star Melanie Blatt, after the words ‘never ever’ were uttered as a clue.

The speculation around EastEnders star Natalie comes after she opened up for the first time about her decision to leave the soap.

The actress, 41, who has played the role of Sonia Fowler since she was 10-years-old, will exit as part of the show’s 40th-anniversary celebrations – a decision she made last summer. 

In her first interview since announcing the news, Natalie explained that turning 42 this year made her feel it was time to ‘be brave’ and explore new opportunities.

She told The Sun: ‘I’m 42 this year, I just feel like it’s time to be brave. You don’t want to get to 70 and think, ‘I never tried that’.’ 

Natalie also expressed her deep love for the show, saying: ‘I’ve loved this programme with all my heart. I started at ten, it’s in my bones, it’s in my heart.’ 

The decision to leave came after a heart-to-heart with EastEnders boss Chris Clenshaw six months ago.

The star said: ‘I’d been thinking about it for a little while. I had a wonderful chat with Chris back in the summer. It’s just exciting.’ 

With the anniversary episodes set to feature a dramatic explosion at the Queen Vic, rumours are circulating that Sonia could die in the blast. 

However, Natalie is keeping quiet about her character’s fate, who has recently been accused of killing Debbie Colwell.
