A third person reasoned: “Keisha Buchanan was 13 when Sugababes started. Twists and turns – Round Round. They had songs called Busters and 3 spoons of Suga. And if you ‘pause’ you push the button.”
Another suggested: “Moth is definitely either Keisha or Jamelia.”, reports the Liverpool Echo. Similarly confident, a fifth declared: “Moth is a trillion per cent Keisha Buchanan.”
The moth has previously stated, “It’s time for me to face the music,” leading fans to believe they have a musical or performance background.
They’ve also mentioned having “grown bigger than my wildest dreams,” suggesting an extensive or highly successful career.

The performer has described themselves as requiring “grace, power, and presence,” qualities fans believe indicate an experienced entertainer.
Another mysterious hint suggested they had “served in the West until my time was up and I returned to my rightful field,” leading some to suspect links to the West End or theatrical world.
Moth’s visual clues have featured a carrot and candlestick, alongside a framed photograph of comedian Ronnie Corbett. A blue jay or bluebird prop also appeared, prompting speculation about potential connections to the name “Jay” or the colour blue.
Alternative suggestions from both judges and audiences have included stars such as Molly Ringwald, Alexandra Burke, and Nicole Scherzinger.
