The Masked Singer's Natalie Cassidy breaks silence on Pufferfish rumours as she makes final prediction
The Masked Singer's Natalie Cassidy has opened up about the speculation that her EastEnders colleague Shona McGarty might be revealed as Pufferfish.
As anticipation builds for the climax of the hit ITV series, fans are keenly dissecting hints to figure out who the remaining disguised celebrities are.
On her Life With Nat podcast, the ex-EastEnders actress shared her thoughts on whether Pufferfish could indeed be McGarty. In conversation with her daughter Eliza, while confessing her own uncertainty about Pufferfish's real identity, she acknowledged there's a real chance it could be the star.

She commented: "It could be Shona, because Shona's voice is amazing. Why have I not thought of that already?"
Earlier in the episode, the 41-year-old reminisced about a poignant moment from her stint on the show, revealing how she was moved to tears by Pufferfish's "beautiful voice" during a performance of Barbra Streisand's "Don't Rain on My Parade". Nevertheless, she made it clear that she doesn't have any insider information on the identities of the other participants.
Addressing online conjecture that Little Mix's Perrie Edwards might be the one donning the Pufferfish outfit, Natalie's daughter Eliza also chimed in, suggesting Edwards would be her bet.
As the competition heated up with only five celebrities left vying for a spot in the final last weekend, Natalie was revealed as Bush, confirming fan speculation that the former EastEnders actress was behind the mask. Natalie, known for her roles on Strictly Come Dancing and Celebrity Big Brother, is best recognised for her portrayal of Sonia Fowler in EastEnders, where she became a national favourite.
After remarkably spending over two decades on the soap, Natalie called time on her stay on the show last month, as she spoke of her love of the show: "EastEnders is in my bones so I will never forget where I started my career and I will continue to love the show."
The Masked Singer is set to return tonight at 7pm (Saturday, February 15) on ITV, with judges Jonathan Ross, Davina McCall, Maya Jama and Danny Jones ready to crown this season's winner.

'Tension' Rises Between Katy Perry And Orlando Bloom Amid Latest Backlash
and are reportedly hitting a few sour notes in their relationship. A new source claims that Katy Perry has been feeling the pressure following the release of her latest album "143," which dropped in September, and it is causing some "tension" with Orlando Bloom. The insider spoke with PEOPLE Magazine, claiming, 'Katy was deeply frustrated following the reception of her new album,' they shared. 'It made her very stressed. Orlando was understanding, but it did cause some tension.' The album, a high-energy, love-fueled dance-pop collection, was designed to be a celebration. 'My vision was to create a bold, exuberant, celebratory dance-pop album with the symbolic 143 numerical expression of love as a throughline message,' Perry explained in a statement at the time, referring to the retro pager code meaning 'I love you.' But not everyone was feeling the love. A second source added, 'She was also disappointed in some of the tour reviews. It's put stress on their relationship.' Despite the criticism, Perry has powered through with a sold-out tour that's been met with enthusiastic fans overseas. After selling out three nights in Mexico, prompting the addition of an extra show, the singer is now performing to packed venues in Australia. The "Lifetimes" tour hits the U.S. beginning July 10 in Denver. As for the negative chatter? Perry isn't letting it define her. Back in February, she spoke candidly to PEOPLE about tuning out the noise. 'You shouldn't read it when it's good. You shouldn't read it when it's bad,' she said. 'My therapist said something that really changed my life. What anybody thinks about you is none of your business. It's what you think about yourself.' She also revealed that "143" was born out of 'a real shift' in her life after becoming a mom to daughter Daisy Dove, whom she welcomed with Bloom in August 2020. 'I really tapped into that feminine divine energy. The messages on it are celebratory. They're about love.' Perry and Bloom have been together for nearly a decade and got engaged on Valentine's Day in 2019. While the couple has weathered ups and downs over the years, Perry recently showed she's still fiercely protective of her man. During her May 17 show at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, the 'Teenage Dream' singer jokingly called out a fan in the audience for sliding into Bloom's DMs. 'Cute grin. I know why you're here,' she teased from the stage before launching into her song 'I'm his, he's mine.' 'Listen, if you keep DM'ing my man... Oh, Kyle? I know, I know. You've been doing it for months, ever since the residency,' she continued. 'If you keep on DM'ing my man, I'm going to have you removed. Seriously, get your own life.' When the fan tried to hand her something, Perry wasn't having it. 'I don't want it. I'm his. I said I'm his. Stay the f-ck away.' Bloom got candid about his relationship with Perry during a 2019 appearance on the "Today" show, emphasizing the importance of being on the same page before walking down the aisle again. 'It's important to me that we are aligned. I've been married and divorced, and I don't want to do it again,' Bloom shared at the time. 'And we're both fully aware of that. She's remarkable and so I'm always so impressed with that and I'm encouraged.' Three years after Orlando Bloom popped the question, Katy Perry opened up about their postponed wedding during an appearance on "The Kyle and Jackie O Show," explaining that the COVID-19 pandemic had put their wedding plans on hold. 'It's a destination location that like, you know, we're still trying for it to work out, but every couple of months it's like, 'New variant! New variant! New variant!'' she said. Last year, Perry opened up about attending couples therapy with Bloom and how it's helped strengthen their bond. Speaking on Chelsea Handler's "Dear Chelsea" podcast, the singer explained that therapy has played a key role in keeping their relationship grounded. 'We love it because it keeps us in tune,' she said. 'The resentment can get really strong when you're both working hard, and so when you want to come back to being normal in a domesticated world where you have a child and stuff like that, you have to really learn how to be kind of different out there in the big and in the small.'
