Fans think they know who Moth is on The Masked Singer UK.
The character took to the stage for another performance on Saturday night, delivering more vocals and more clues. Hints included jazz and being an artist, the word beehive and Scotland.
Now, viewers are suspecting a familiar face is under the mask, waiting to be rumbled. The top theory was that Keisha Buchanan from the popular girl group the Sugababes is the one performing as Moth, after their latest attempt at hiding who they were.
Her famous vocals were the biggest giveaway according to fans of the star. Taking to X, fans repeatedly shared that Keisha would be unmasked as Moth, as many praised her performance.
One fan said: “Moth is Deffo Keisha from Sugababes.” Another tweeted: “Moth is Keisha from Sugababes. Her voice is fire,” as a third fan said: “Just from that intro Moth is 100% Keisha Buchanan from Sugarbabes!”

A further comment read: “Moth is 100% Keisha Buchanan.” Another fan commented: ” Keisha I know that amazing voice from a mile off,” while one viewer noted the same, saying: “Moth is Keisha from the Sugababes. I’m calling it now.”
The very same theory was shared during Moth’s first performance previously on the series. A fan said: “Moth = Keisha from Sugababes,” as another added: “Keisha Buchanan is moth 1000000%,” while others guessed The X Factor winners Leona Lewis and Alexandra Burke.
It comes after Yak was revealed as Sex Pistols star John Lyndon in the latest unmasking last weekend. The show’s latest star took fans by surprise – with many failing to guess that it was the rock legend underneath that crooning cow.
“Nope didn’t get that lol #themaskedsinger,” one wrote on X. Another tweeted: “Would never have guessed him…” A third wrote: “Never in my life did I think I’d see Johnny Rotten singing an Olivia Newton-John song.”

The Sex Pistol singer didn’t hold back in his exit interview for the show, saying that it was “hardly” the highlight of his career. When asked whether being on the show would be a career highlight for him, he laughed: “I hardly think so. For me, I hope the fun comes across.
“Rather than going up there and doing sing along and guessing who I am straight away, I thought, show the other side of me. An absolute funstar. I’m the court jester by nature. It’s just the way it is.”
As for whether he was sad to go, he said: “Certainly not. I think it’s been a privilege for you to have me.”
