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?

And many other fans are in agreement.

DISTINCTIVE VOICE
“Has to be Natalie Cassidy from EastEnders as the Bush on. That voice is so distinctive,” said another.
[boxout headline=”Who won The Masked Singer 2025?” featured-image=”32646117″ intro=”Much to the delight of telly fans, The Masked Singer came back in 2025.”]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.
Wolf – Wet 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.
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.
