The popular talent show, The Masked Singer, returned to ITV on March 15, 2024, kicking off its seventh series with a captivating performance by a character named Moth. Fans quickly speculated that the performer behind the mask is none other than Keisha Buchanan, a renowned member of the British girl group, Sugababes.
As the first act of the evening, Moth dazzled the audience with a rendition of Mariah Carey‘s hit “Hero.” The performance not only impressed the judges but also sent viewers on social media into a frenzy. Within moments of her singing, many identified Moth’s unique vocal style, leading to an outpouring of comments on platforms like X, with fans confidently declaring, “Moth is Keisha Buchanan from the Sugababes!”
The show’s format encourages viewers to engage in lively speculation about the identities of the masked performers. Since its debut in 2020, The Masked Singer has transformed the UK into a nation of amateur sleuths, all eager to discover the celebrities hidden behind the elaborate costumes. Previous winners include Nicola Roberts from Girls Aloud and Samantha Barks, who captivated audiences last season in the guise of Pufferfish.
In Moth’s introductory video, various clues were provided, including a reference to Ronnie Corbett, which led some viewers to speculate about other potential identities, such as Samantha Womack, known for her role in the long-running soap opera EastEnders. Despite these guesses, it was Moth’s powerful vocals that primarily pointed fans toward Keisha Buchanan. One viewer remarked, “Omg Moth – I know that voice! Kesha Sugababe???”
While the overwhelming consensus leans towards Buchanan, a handful of fans have also suggested that Moth could be her bandmate Mutya Buena or even Leigh-Anne from Little Mix. The thrill of uncovering the mystery continues to engage the audience as they eagerly anticipate the forthcoming performances and clues throughout the series.
As the excitement builds for the rest of the season, The Masked Singer promises to deliver more unforgettable moments and jaw-dropping reveals.
