The Masked Singer viewers are convinced they know the identity of the moth. The ITV<\/a> guessing game, which sees celebrities dress up in elaborate costumes in a bid to conceal their identity as they perform pop songs, has already revealed some major names in the latest series.<\/p>\n

Stars like Sex Pistols rocker John Lydon<\/a>, rapper Professor Green and, recently, singer Kate Nash and Strictly Come Dancing<\/a> judge Anton Du Beke<\/a> have been unmasked.<\/p>\n

Tonight\u2019s episode, Saturday, January 7, saw the moth take to the stage to sing a version of Olivia Dean\u2019s Man I Need. Fans quickly took to social media to claim the identity of the anonymous was \u201cso obvious\u201d.<\/p>\n

Amy said: \u201cKeisha from Sugababes defo (sic) in my opinion for moth\u201d. Garry added: \u201cIt\u2019s definitely a Sugababes\u201d, whereas Jon wrote: \u201cKeisha Buchanan was 13 when Sugababes started. Twists and turns – Round Round. They had songs called Busters and 3 spoons of Suga. And if you \u2018pause\u2019 you push the button.\u201d<\/p>\n

Hayley added: \u201cMoth is definitely either Keisha or Jamelia.\u201d Echoing a similar sentiment, Shaky said: \u201cMoth is a trillion per cent Keisha Buchanan.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"Series<\/p>\n

Series 7 contestants Red Panda, Moth, Disc Jockey, Gargoyle, Sloth and Can of Worms.<\/p>\n

Moth has said, \u201cIt\u2019s time for me to face the music,\u201d which fans believe they have a background in singing or performing. They also mentioned that they have \u201cgrown bigger than my wildest dreams,\u201d hinting at a long or successful career.<\/p>\n

The performer described themselves as needing \u201cgrace, power, and presence,\u201d which fans interpret as traits of a seasoned entertainer. Another cryptic statement was that they had \u201cserved in the West until my time was up and I returned to my rightful field,\u201d which some believe points to a connection with the West End or theatre.<\/p>\n

Visually, Moth\u2019s clue package has included a carrot and a candlestick, as well as a framed picture of the comedian Ronnie Corbett. There was also a blue jay or bluebird prop, which viewers speculate might hint at a name connected to \u201cJay\u201d or the colour blue.<\/p>\n

Fans on social media have suggested that these clues point to Keisha Buchanan from the Sugababes. They connect the idea of a \u201cmoth feeding on nectar\u201d to the \u201csugar\u201d in Sugababes and the idea of growth or transformation in a long-standing music career.<\/p>\n

Other guesses from judges and viewers have included performers like Molly Ringwald, Alexandra Burke, and Nicole Scherzinger. It comes after last week\u2019s episode saw a late addition to the roster, added in the form of Mole Dommet.<\/a><\/p>\n

Viewers watched as host Joel Dommett welcomed “double agent” Mole to the stage, after the character was seen sneaking viewers extra clues during each of the contestants’ VTs.<\/p>\n

Joel later confirmed Mole<\/a> would finally be unmasked in the same episode. The character appeared at the top of the programme as promised, joking that their identity was “under wraps” before the reveal.<\/p>\n

Mole turned out to be pop star Olly Murs<\/a>, with the only hint nodding to his 2014 track Wrapped Up. However, The ECHO previously reported how The Masked Singer viewers cried foul saying it was impossible to guess a late arrival without proper clues.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Fans of the ITV guessing game believe Moth, a semi-finalist, is from a popular girlband Joel Dommett is…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":413717,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[29],"tags":[96,347,126574,391,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-413716","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-tv","tag-entertainment","tag-itv","tag-the-masked-singer","tag-tv","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/413716","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=413716"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/413716\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/413717"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=413716"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=413716"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=413716"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
