Natalie Cassidy, the EastEnders star, stunned viewers and judges alike on the semi-final of The Masked Singer, revealing herself as Bush after successfully concealing her identity throughout the competition.
The Masked Singer viewers were astonished when the judges failed to identify Bush , the latest contestant unmasked on the ITV singing competition. The semi-final aired on Saturday, February 8th, featuring a double elimination with Bear and Bush 's identities revealed. Bear, the first celebrity unmasked, turned out to be rapper Example, correctly guessed by judge Maya Jama. Bush , however, narrowly missed a place in next week's final.
Fans had already speculated that it was EastEnders star Natalie Cassidy, and their suspicions were confirmed on Saturday night. Despite Natalie's captivating performances of ABBA's 'Thank You For The Music' and Lisa Loeb's 'Stay,' the judging panel consisting of Davina McCall, Jonathan Ross, Maya Jama, and guest judge Richard E. Grant, failed to recognize her. Viewers took to X to express their disbelief, with one writing, 'Called it from day one. OF COURSE it was Natalie Cassidy. We all knew... apart from the judges.' Another fan added, 'How the judges never got who Bush was is honestly shocking.' Meanwhile, a third commented, 'How the judges didn't get her, I will never know. The clues don't even matter. You can tell just by the voice. She was the most obvious one this year.' Another user chimed in, 'Shock of the evening... it was Natalie Cassidy! But even bigger shock - none of the panel guessed it was her!' One fan even joked that the judges should be replaced, saying, 'The judges should be replaced with X users. They guessed Natalie Cassidy from day 1. Sack the judges!!' Cassidy's performance on the show also garnered widespread admiration, with fans hailing her as an 'icon' and 'national treasure.' One fan tweeted, 'Natalie! Icon! Knew it from day one... just brilliant.' Another praised her performance, saying, 'Natalie Cassidy has cemented her national treasure status! Bush has been such a cute character - put her heart and soul into it, so much fun. And reaching the semi-final amongst a group of professional singers - she more than held her own! What a star.'
