\"Moth\"<\/p>\n

Moth has made it through to the Masked Singer UK final <\/p>\n

Fans of The Masked Singer<\/a> are convinced they’ve cracked the identity of Moth.<\/p>\n

The ITV<\/a> guessing game sees famous faces don elaborate costumes to hide their identity whilst performing popular songs, and has already unveiled some big names this series.<\/p>\n

Celebrity reveals have included Sex Pistols legend John Lydon, rapper Professor Green and more recently singer Kate Nash and Strictly Come Dancing<\/a> judge Anton Du Beke.<\/p>\n

During Saturday (February 7) night’s show, Moth performed a renditions of Olivia Dean’s Man I Need and Judy Kuhn’s Colors of the Wild from Disney’s Pocahontas.<\/p>\n

Moth was overcome with emotion following their second performance and Mo Gilligan pointed out the studio could hear the mystery celebrity crying under the mask.<\/p>\n

Viewers immediately flooded social media, claiming the celebrity’s identity was “so obvious”.<\/p>\n

One fan declared: “Keisha from Sugababes defo in my opinion for moth”. Another agreed: “It’s definitely a Sugababes”<\/p>\n

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.”<\/p>\n

Another suggested: “Moth is definitely either Keisha or Jamelia.”, reports the Liverpool Echo<\/a>. Similarly confident, a fifth declared: “Moth is a trillion per cent Keisha Buchanan.”<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

They’ve also mentioned having “grown bigger than my wildest dreams,” suggesting an extensive or highly successful career.<\/p>\n

The performer has described themselves as requiring “grace, power, and presence,” qualities fans believe indicate an experienced entertainer.<\/p>\n

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<\/a>.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

Alternative suggestions from both judges and audiences have included stars such as Molly Ringwald, Alexandra Burke, and Nicole Scherzinger<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Fans will finally find out Moth’s true identity next week as they compete against Conker and Toastie to be crowned champion.<\/p>\n
