Fans of The Masked Singer UK think they’ve figured out the true identity of Mushroom.
The mystery singer wowed viewers and the judges with their performance of The Power of Love during Saturday night’s semi-final, and they made it through to next weekend’s final along with Robobunny and Panda.
The judges’ guesses for Mushroom have included Aisling Bea, Rebel Wilson, Sia, Vicky McClure, Martell Maxwell, Lily Allen, Jade Thirlwall and Sheridan Smith, but the most popular guess to date is that Welsh singer Charlotte Church is behind the wacky mask.
The numbers in Mushroom’s VT last week were 345997, which in letters spells out ‘Eglwys’ – the Welsh word for ‘Church’.
Eagle-eyed fans also spotted that Mushroom placed their little finger by their mouth on the show, a gesture Charlotte has also been seen doing.
During last night’s semi-final, Mushroom also hinted that they have campaigned for good in the past, and fans dug up an old article about her speaking in front of a crowd of 250,000 people at an anti-austerity march.
