Who is Bush on The Masked Singer 2025? Latest clues and fan theories

EAGLE-EYED viewers of The Masked Singer's 2025 series are convinced they have cracked the identity of one contestant.

Bush was saved from being unmasked in the second episode of the singing show, but who is hiding behind the leafy costume?

Who is Bush on The Masked Singer 2025?

Bush is one of 12 celebrities taking to the stage during the sixth season of TV's favourite guessing game, The Masked Singer.

Praising show bosses for coming up with the name of Bush, judge Davina McCall said: ''The fact that we’ve called somebody Bush this year is too funny.

''Being called Bush every five minutes by (host) Joel [Dommett] makes me laugh so much."

As well as Bush, the new series welcomes 11 other contestants, including Snail, Toad In The Hole and Kingfisher.

Bush made their singing debut in the second episode of the show, singing Wake Up Boo, by The Boo Radleys.

Despite being voted into the bottom two by the audience, Bush was saved by the judges, so more clues and performances will be coming our way.

What are the clues?

In true The Masked Singer style, Bush dropped several clues in their first appearance on the show.

The character's main hints so far include:

• Determined to show they aren’t a "coward"
• They like the outdoors and gardening
• Bush also likes to "stage manage" where the plants go
• A "Best Bush in Show" trophy
• A judge's gavel and wig
• Time to get "tree-actrical"

Bush also shared the riddle: ''I’ve been training for years, and there’s no turning back.

''Have you peeped through my leaves? Are you on the right track?''

Who do the Masked Singer judges think Bush could be?

The 2025 judging panel is made up of Maya Jama, Davina McCall, Jonathan Ross, and Mo Gilligan.

Love Island host Maya Jama has taken over from Rita Ora.

With the new singing series in full swing, the panel have already made several guesses.

Davina McCall chose Catherine O'Hara and guest judge Vicky McClure threw BBC's Ground Force host Charlie Dimmock into the mix.

Other names put forward by the judges were Billie Piper and Stacey Solomon.

New judge Maya Jama said the clues led her to believe it was Idris Elba, but the voice didn't match

Who do The Masked Singer fans think Bush is?

Those watching at home have joined the judges and shared several of their fan theories so far.

However, before Bush even took to the stage, viewers were already convinced they knew who was behind the mask.

They were convinced that Bush was McFly bandmate Tom Fletcher after a clue was dropped by The Masked Singer 2024 winner Danny Jones.

Danny said he was given the option of playing either a Bush, or a Piranha, ahead of last year's show.

Fans jumped on this and named Tom as the character.

Sharing their theory online, one fan wrote: ''Tbh i think it's Tom. It just looks like him idk how to explain."

However, after appearing on Sunday, January 5, 2025, it was revealed that Bush was in fact female.

Now fan theories are pointing to a huge soap star.

They are pointing the finger at EastEnders legend Natalie Cassidy.

One posted online: "DO THESE PEOPLE NOT KNOW SONIA FOWLER #TheMaskedSinger."

Another added: "Natalie Cassidy as the Bush.... possibly."

However the same poster also cheekily said: "After the clues, who pee'd in a bush.

"Paula Radcliffe!!!! BOOM!!! Too good at this."

Other guesses included comedian Lolly Adefope, TV host Stacey Solomon, and gardener Charlie Dimmock.
