The identity of the mysterious Monkey Business on The Masked Singer UK may have been spectacularly rumbled by eagle-eyed viewers, mere moments into the latest episode.
Fans Point the Finger at Pop Icon
As the seventh series of the hit ITV show continues, speculation has reached fever pitch over who is behind the simian costume. During the sports day-themed episode, which aired on Saturday, January 10, 2026, the performer took to the stage before judges Jonathan Ross, Maya Jama, Davina McCall, Mo Gilligan, and special guest Freddie Flintoff.
Almost instantly, a consensus began forming on social media platform X. A wave of viewers became convinced that the voice and clues belonged to none other than Natasha Hamilton, a founding member of the chart-topping girl group Atomic Kitten.
Social Media Buzz and Speculation
The online detective work was swift and decisive. One fan posted on X, questioning: "It's Natasha Hamilton but is it too obvious?" Another stated bluntly, "Monkey Business is Natasha Hamilton." A third sought confirmation from the wider fanbase, adding: "Monkey Business - Natasha Hamilton from Atomic Kitten? Thoughts?"
This flurry of activity suggests that the performer's distinctive vocal tone or perhaps a cleverly placed clue in their VT package has given the game away for many dedicated followers of the show.
What Happens Next?
While the fan verdict seems clear, the official reveal will have to wait for a future episode of the programme, hosted by Joel Dommett. The new season only premiered on ITV earlier this month, introducing a fresh line-up of celebrities hidden behind elaborate disguises.
If the public's theory is correct, it would mark a triumphant return to the spotlight for Hamilton, whose group achieved huge success in the early 2000s with hits like 'Whole Again' and 'Eternal Flame'.
This remains a developing story, and the true identity of Monkey Business will only be confirmed when they are finally unmasked on live television.
