Fans of the ITV guessing game saw Tattoo finally unmasked after a good run of performances.
Amid strong theories that it could be Coronation Street star Kym Marsh, it was eventually confirmed to be pop music legend, Carol Decker.
Carol is the fourth star to be revealed on this year's edition of the contest.
Last week, Macy Gray in a toad in a hole costume threw a diva strop as she was axed from the show early on in its run.
She stormed off stage and refused to return for almost an hour and when she did, she gave rather blunt answers to the judges before walking off in a huff once more.
Her reveal follows the unmasking of Bake Off star Prue Leith as Pegasus and GMB host Kate Garraway as Spag Bol.
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.
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.
Bear, who performed a musical number from Oliver! on their first performance on The Masked Singer, shook things up with their version of Miami by Will Smith.
Guesses were quick to fly in suggesting Bear is EastEnders actor Richard Blackwood, who is also known for his rapping skills outside of the BBC soap.
One viewer wrote on X: “Bear is deffo richard Blackwood his middle name is Clifford.”
Another posted: “Im here for the Richard Blackwood. Didn’t he release a song that could have gone to number 1?”
The guesses are a U-turn from last week when viewers were sure Bear was A Very Royal Scandal actor Michael Sheen, 55.
TMS is back next Saturday for more musical guessing.
Make sure to have ITV1 on at 7pm for all the action.
The Masked Singer has been a smash-hit for ITV since launching in 2020. Here's a look at the show's familiar on air team.

Former:
Host
Joel Dommett: Joel has presented every series of The Masked Singer so far.
A source told The Sun that because Macy reached the final of the US version as Sea Queen in 2023, she was “totally blindsided” to be one of the first to leave this series.
“Macy was almost shellshocked to start with and was basically gutted to be out so early because she really enjoyed being on the American version – when obviously she did brilliantly – so was totally blindsided.
“It was the shock of it for her as well as the upset and in that moment she had a very raw, human reaction and wanted out.
“It took everyone backstage ages to talk her round and poor Joel was on stage essentially doing a stand-up routine to try and keep things under control.”

A number of clues about Wolf’s identity have been given, including:
Wolf’s riddle was: “As a wolf, I’ve held dominion over everything I see, wild woods, creek or cave, that’s my territory.”
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.
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:
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?”

Pufferfish chose to sing Cindi Lauper smash hit Girls Just Wanna Have Fun and impressed the panel once again with her vocals.
After seeing her clues and hearing her voice, some Masked Singer viewers changed their mind on who they thought was behind the mask.
They were previously convinced that Pufferfish is pop megastar Katy Perry.
But now, a number of them believe it’s actually a West End star who also had a role in hit Hollywood musical, Les Miserables.
Taking to X – formerly Twitter – one wrote: “Is Pufferfish Samantha Barks…?
“She worked with Nick Jonas in Les Miz (Year 3000) got married in Tuscany (loves the Italian coast) & did Tomorrow Morning with Anita Dobson – those are the main clues I can think of that lead to her.”
Another added: “Oh the Angie Watts quoting has me thinking could it be Samantha Barks as she did a movie with Anita Dobson for Pufferfish.”
A third tweeted: “Samantha Barks was in a film with Anita Dobson in 2022. That’s where the Angie Watts clue comes from! Yeah I’m going to lock in Samantha Barks as Pufferfish.”
Bear, who performed a musical number from Oliver! on their first performance on The Masked Singer, shook things up with their version of Miami by Will Smith.
