Now the actress, who is known for her iconic role as Sonia Fowler in the BBC soap, has revealed she thinks one of her soap co-stars could be behind one of the remaining singers.
Pufferfish, alongside Dressed Crab and Wolf, remains in the final and Natalie has shared her theory on who it could be.
Speaking on her Life With Nat podcast, Natalie guessed that Pufferfish will be unveiled as EastEnders actress Shona McGarty.
Shona, who played Whitney Dean in the soap until her exit last year, is known to have a brilliant singing voice which Natalie thinks could be what ITV viewers have heard on a Saturday night.

Speaking to her daughter Eliza on her podcast, Natalie said: "It could be Shona, because Shona's voice is amazing. Why have I not thought of that already?"
Discussing performances, Natalie revealed she was left in tears by Pufferfish's "beautiful voice" during her rendition of Barbra Streisand's Don't Rain on My Parade.
Aside from Shona, Natalie guessed that Little Mix singer Perrie Edwards could be behind Pufferfish with daughter Eliza doing the same.
Fans have also been sharing their theories for who Pufferfish could be, as she's the last remaining female contestant.

Some of the previous clues have hinted at a Stateside star, after Pufferfish referred to the Statue of Liberty and American football.
There has also been a rubber spider resting on a hairbrush, a pair of dice rolling a five and six, and a moment where Pufferfish was seen crushing a rubber chicken with a blue boot.

Fans seem fairly convinced that West End superstar Samantha Barks is behind the mask.
One wrote on Reddit: "Firstly, the voice is very similar.
"Watch her BGT performance of 'Let It Go' and you’ll see what I mean - she has even got on her knees before whilst performing, which we saw in Good Luck, Babe last week."
"Next, it has to be said from someone who has seen Pufferfish live in studio, that she has an incredibly tiny stomach despite wearing a corset.
"From what I’ve seen, Samantha has the same physique. I’ve also seen pictures of her wearing corsets and everything seems to be near enough an exact match!"
Another agreed: "I think Pufferfish is Samantha Barks!"
