While a fifth added: “Monkey Business is definitely Kate Nash #MaskedSingerUK.”
Kate shot to fame back in 2006 and has released five studio albums over her two decade-long career.
Her biggest hit is the song Foundations which charted at number two in the UK singles chart in 2007.
After attempting to diversify her sound from indie pop, Kate was dropped by her record label which led to her releasing her music on her own record label.
Her most recent record, 9 Sad Symphonies was released in 2024.
As well as her own music, she’s also written for other stars, including co-writing Poison for Rita Ora, which went on to become a huge hit.

He was later revealed to be none other than rapper Professor Green.
The musician, who is known for tracks Just Be Good To Green, I Need You Tonight and Read All About It, grinned as the crowd and judges went wild.
He had attempted to cover up his voice by speaking with a posh accent, and dropping hints that had connections to royalty.
Maya Jama guessed ‘Judge’ Rob Rinder, Mo Gilligan thought it was Richard Osman, Davina thought it was Dan Snow and Jonathan guessed it to be Mike Tindall.
Talking to Joel Dommett after his reveal, he said: “It was nice to be able to hide behind a mask and just be silly for a minute.”
Though he quickly joking that faking a posh accent ‘didn’t make singing any easier’.
He also said that his four-and-a-half year old son is a fan of the show and had no idea he would be on it.
“It’s been so much fun, and I’m really happy that none of you guessed me,” he added.
“He was actually my pal, so I should know!” admitted Maya, who noted she’d spoken to him days before filming.
The Masked Singer continues next Saturday at 7pm on ITV1, STV, ITVX and STV Player.
