The Masked Singer Australia 2020: Who is Cactus?

Only one name is coming to most people’s minds! - by Erin Doyle
  • 20 Aug 2020

The Masked Singer is the addictive reality show that has everyone glued to the screens as they throw out their wild guesses just like the judges.

Yep, 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 Cactus?

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.

“Most cactuses put down their roots where they first land but not me. It took a while for me to find where I belonged," one of Cactus' clues teased.

Who is Cactus?

Finding out who’s behind Cactus’ costume sure is a prickly issue.

The first clue dropped for the star teased: “When they hear my voice, they'll be yelling ‘You grow girl’”.

And the hint only got more cryptic from there!

The celeb disguised by a plant has performed songs such as No Doubt’s Just a Girl and Icona Pop’s I Love It.

Other clues included: “Most cactuses put down their roots where they first land but not me. It took a while for me to find where I belonged. Along the way, I’ve walked the most hallowed turf in the land.

“I’m a bit of a princess. But am I dangerous? I was called that at the start of my career. I took it hard, but don’t we all need something that scares us just a little?

“We cactuses aren’t known for the way we move, well that’s not strictly accurate. I’m not bad, but I’m definitely not the best mover in my family.”

Some Masked Singer fans reckon they’ve already got it figured out.

“This one I’m 95% sure. Cactus is Lucy Durack,” wrote one fan, while another added: “I think Cactus is Lucy Durack. The clues fit. Can't wait to find out for sure.”

Another insisted there was no way it couldn’t be her, penning, “I'm sure Cactus is Lucy Durack and no one will convince me otherwise.”

It was a theory backed up by fellow Masked Singer star Katie Noonan who guessed Lucy as being behind the mask after her own elimination from the show.

Hmm, could they be right? We can’t wait to see.

Many Masked Singer fans are convinced Cactus is none other than Lucy Durack (pictured).
