Clues for Moth have included<\/p>\n

\u2018I\u2019ve grown bigger than my wildest dreams,\u2019 the Moth said, offering imagery of flourishing from larvae to butterflyA moth needs three things – \u2018Grace, power and presence\u2019.\u2018I\u2019ve served in the West\u2019 \u2013 potentially meaning the West EndDuring the clue package, we were given glimpses of a carrot, a candlestick and a framed picture of comedian Ronnie CorbettMoth holding a blue jay<\/p>\n

Viewers were quick to react on social media after the performance, with many saying the character sounded just like Keisha Buchanan from girl group the Sugababes.<\/p>\n

Viewers think it could be Keisha Buchanan(Image: Instagram)<\/p>\n

One viewer theorised on X: “Clues: The Sugababes were formed thanks to Ron Tom, which ties back to Ronnie Corbett. Keisha was super young when they began, it’s like we\u2019ve watched her ‘grow from larva to moth’. Now that they\u2019ve reunited, she\u2019s back where she belongs ‘Returned to her rightful field’.”<\/p>\n

Another wrote: “Moth\u2019s got to be Keisha from Sugababes?” as a third echoed: “I think Moth is Keisha Buchanan from the Sugababes, it REALLY sounds like her!!”.<\/p>\n

Another viewer penned: “Is the four candles clue for Moth leaning towards the 4 lineups Keisha was in for Sugababes? Original, Heidi, Amelle & original again? Either way, it\u2019s Keisha Buchanan”.<\/p>\n

Other potential stars that could be hiding under the disguise are Paloma Faith and Alexandra Burke \u2013 both with powerhouse voices and a connection to the West End.<\/p>\n

Birmingham’s Superstar singer Jamelia has also been guessed, as well as Jessie J.<\/p>\n
