THE Masked Singer fans are convinced Bush is a Netflix star – after spotting key clues.

Bush made their Masked Singer debut in the second episode of the series with a performance Wake Up Boo by The Boo Radleys.

After seeing the character twice, viewers believe a familiar face from an acclaimed comedy-drama is behind the mask.

They reckon After Life actress Kerry Godliman has been secretly performing as Bush.

One wrote on X, formerly Twitter: “Bush gotta be Kerry Godliman.

“She got famous in the sitcom Derek, cant sing, and one of her clues mentioned Life’s Too Short, a show made by Ricky Gervais who she worked with on Derek and After Life! #themaskedsingeruk.”

Another added: “I am saying Kerry Godliman for #Bush on #themaskedsingeruk.”

A third said: “Finally a Kerry Godliman mention!!!

“So deeply specific to me and I know it won’t be but if Bush was her I’d die I love her sfm! #TheMaskedSingerUK.”

While a fourth penned: #Bush is Kerry Godliman! #TheMaskedSinger #TheMaskedSingerUK.”

Actress and comedian Kerry played Lisa Johnson, late wife to Tony (Ricky Gervais) in Netflix hit After Life.

She also starred opposite Ricky in his Channel 4 series Derek from 2012 to 2014.

She also won series seven of Taskmaster, defeating fellow comics James Acaster, Phil Wang, Jessica Knappett and Rhod Gilbert.

Elsewhere, The Masked Singer viewers are certain Tattoo is a 90s girl group star – two years after their bandmate took part.

X has been riddled with fan theories about who it could be behind the mask – with many speculating that it’s All Saints star Mel Blatt.

Online, one person wrote: “I also said Melanie Blatt for Tattoo. Teeth I’ve no idea yet, Kingfisher IS Harry Hill…”

Twelve celebrities were hidden behind intricate costumes, with their identities concealed.

Pufferfish This year’s winner had flawless vocals throughout the competition. West End powerhouse Samantha Barks told the audience she’d loved every second of the series.

Dressed Crab – Former American football player turned jazz singer Gregory Porter was the man behind the crustacean. He duetted with Keala Settle, who previously competed as Air Fryer, in the final.

WolfWet Wet Wet heartthrob Marti Pellow was unmasked as the rugged character. McFly’s Danny Jones, who won last year’s show as Piranha, was on the panel in the final and paid his respects to the Scottish crooner.

Bush – she didn’t fool viewers and the judges were so close, but Bush was in fact EastEnders legend Natalie Cassidy. Davina McCall came closest, guessing Morgana Robinson, who does a mean impression of the Sonia actress

Bear – another success for new judge Maya Jama as she guessed correctly that the singing Bear was none other than singer, songwriter Example – real name Elliot Gleave.

Snail – this singer certainly fooled the judges as the mask was lifted to reveal Andrea Corr. Jonathan Ross admitted to being a huge fan of The Corrs.

Kingfisher – everyone was convinced this was Harry Hill, but the mask was lifted to reveal artist Sir Grayson Perry, who is known for his alter-ego Claire.

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.

Someone else wrote: “Melanie Blatt is most definitely Tattoo.”

In 2023, Melanie’s bandmate Natalie Appleton competed on The Masked Singer.

Dressed as “Fawn”, Natalie finished third overall behind Busted‘s Charlie Simpson and The Kaiser Chiefs’ Ricky Wilson.

The Masked Singer airs on ITV1 and ITVX.
