The Masked Singer Australia 2020: Who is Bushranger?

Case solved! - by Erin Doyle
  • 20 Aug 2020

The Masked Singer is back and it’s more fun than ever.

It’s time to put your thinking cap on and wade through Network Ten’s cryptic clues and start guessing which celebrities are behind the elaborate costumes – and the task is tougher than you may think!

WATCH: The Masked Singer Australia: Who is Bushranger?

A motley crew of 12 celebrities will battle it out on stage to be crowned the winner of The Masked Singer Australia for 2020 – a feat Cody Simpson managed to achieve last year during its inaugural season.

So far The Echidna has unmasked as tennis star Mark Philippoussis, Hammerhead’s unlikely identity was cricket legend Michael Bevan. Meanwhile, Christine Anu was Goldfish’s shock reveal and Katie Noonan was behind the Sloth mask.

Left to battle it out are Dragonfly, Frillneck, Wizard, Cactus, Queen, Bushranger, Puppet and Kitten.

Who is Bushranger?

Bushranger has so far been one of the most tricky stars to pinpoint, with even eliminated contestant Katie Noonan (Sloth) admitting it was the only one she had no idea about.

"I'm not afraid to take the gloves off... and get my hands a little dirty," the first clue teased.

"My voice is wanted dead or alive."

While Bushranger initially had fans scratching their heads, guesses seem to have narrowed down to two main choices after the most recent episode of The Masked Singer, after the mysterious celeb performed Lady Gaga’s Poker Face and more clues dropped.

“Like a true Bushranger, I’ve got the country in my heart. I’m very comfortable with horse power, like other women before me,” the clue teased.

“But I’m never comfortable being just the one thing. It’s important to always be growing. Roses are my favourite. I was for a while part of the Kelly gang, now I’m on my own.”

Many fans are convinced the star sounds exactly like Australian Idol alum Jess Mauboy, while others have pointed the finger at Bonnie Anderson (due in part to the “roses” clue, which could reference the Neighbours star’s rose tattoo).

Could one of these stellar singers be behind the elaborate costume?

Who are The Masked Singer judges?

Thanks to travel restrictions put in place due to the COVID-19 global crisis, international judge Lindsay Lohan was unable to return for the second season and was instead replaced by comedian Urzila Carlson. All other judges, Jackie O Henderson, Dave Hughes and Dannii Minogue returned to the panel.
