The Masked Singer has sent fans into a frenzy with a sensational double elimination during the semi-final, igniting a storm on social media as viewers chime in on the celebrities who bid farewell and the three that secured their spots for the grand finale. On Saturday night’s thrilling episode, the last five disguised stars—Bush, Dressed Crab, Wolf, Pufferfish, and Bear — competed to snag one of the coveted final three places. At the end of the battle, it was time to wave goodbye to Bear and Bush, who were dramatically unmasked.
Bear’s identity shocked no one when the rapper Example was revealed, prompting viewers to take to Twitter to express their reactions — a mix of excitement and disappointment. “Knew it!” exclaimed one fan, while another shared: “Wooo! I finally got one right! Gutted he didn’t make the final, Example has been brilliant this season, he was my fave.”

Adding to the night’s revelatory drama, soap icon Natalie Cassidy was unveiled as Bush, leading to bursts of joy from the audience. Fans went wild recognising Sonia from EastEnders, with the Twitter-sphere buzzing with messages like “Yes! It’s Sonia,” “Knew it was Sonia from EastEnders!”, and a third bragging: “Called it! Weeks ago!” As she exited the show, Natalie declared it her best gig ever, leaving her supporters overjoyed at her stint.
The Masked Singer’s semi-final had fans on the edge of their seats as Wolf, Pufferfish and Dressed Crab belted out tunes, leaving everyone guessing who could be behind the masks. With only three celebs left to unmask in next week’s final, speculation is rife, reports the Mirror.
Wolf’s renditions of Rebel Yell and Don’t Dream It’s Over, along with hints like ‘I’m still standing’ and a desire to ‘settle old scores’, have viewers betting on Simon Le Bon or Marti Pellow being behind the costume. “Wolf is definitely Marti Pellow,” one fan tweeted, while another was convinced: “Wolf is Marti Pellow, his voice is so unique.” Some are hearing echoes of Simon Le Bon, and others are tossing Tony Hadley’s name into the ring.

Meanwhile, Dressed Crab’s performances and clues like ‘composing myself’ and ‘don’t ring after 9pm’ have led to wild guesses from Billy Porter to Gregory Porter. One hopeful fan shared, “I hope dressed crab is the amazing Gregory Porter. I’ve just booked tickets to go and see him,” while another asserted: “Dressed crab is Billy Porter, I’m sure of it.”
The Masked Singer’s Pufferfish, who performed Billie Eilish’s What Was I Made For from the Barbie movie and One Night Only from Dreamgirls, has left fans guessing. With clues like a Windy City sign and mentions of ‘sharing the stage with crows’, could it be stage sensation Samantha Barks behind the mask?
“Pufferfish for the crown, no doubt, and Samantha Barks? I can’t wait to hear her sing next week,” one viewer chimed in, while another added: “I’m all in for Pufferfish to win this! And Davina nailed it with Samantha Barks, finally!” The suspense is building as we approach the final on Saturday 15 February on ITV1, where we’ll finally discover the identities of Pufferfish, Wolf and Dressed Crab.
Joining host Joel Dommett and judges Maya Jama, Mo Gilligan, Davina McCall and Jonathan Ross will be last year’s winner, Danny Jones. He’s set to be the guest judge for the final, but fans are hoping he might also perform a duet with one of the remaining contestants. In past years, former Masked Singer stars Jason Manford, Aston Merrygold, and Girls Aloud’s Nicola Roberts have returned to perform with the finalists, so it’s not out of the question.
