The Masked Singer Odds: Keisha, Edwards And Shephard Favourites For Final Three
The Masked Singer is down to its final three characters ahead of Saturday night's final, after another double dumping in the semi-final.
Marvin Humes was 10/11 favourite on betting sites to be Can of Worms, and that proved to be the case.
There was a bigger surprise when Sloth slowly took off his mask - and TV presenter Ben Fogle was underneath it.
That means Moth, Conkers and Toastie are through to the final - but who will win and who is under those three remaining masks?
Emotional Moth To Be Keisha?
Moth heads into The Masked Singer series seven finale as the 11/10 favourite on betting apps to win the contest, but Toastie isn't far behind at 6/4.
Last Saturday night, some viewers branded Moth's performance of Vanessa Williams tune Colours of the Wind one of the best they have ever seen on The Masked Singer UK.
The judges gave Moth a standing ovation for the rendition, which left the character in tears.
The Masked Singer Series 7 Winner Odds:
Personality | Odds | Probability |
Moth | 11/10 | 47.6% |
Toastie | 6/4 | 40% |
Conkers | 2/1 | 33.3% |
Judge Mo Gilligan said: "I don’t know if Moth is crying under there?"
And Moth nodded, leaving Mo to say he was going to cry, too.
As well as sparking lots of emotion, Moth's beautiful performance of the song added further fuel to speculation that Sugababes singer Keisha Buchanan is under the mask.
She is into just 1/4 to be Moth, with Amber Davies (2/1) on the drift.
The Masked Singer Odds: Who Is Moth?
Personality | Odds | Probability |
Keisha Buchanan | 1/4 | 80% |
Amber Davies | 2/1 | 33.3% |
Jamelia | 3/1 | 25% |
Nicola Roberts | 5/1 | 16.7% |
Jessie J | 8/1 | 14.3% |
Several viewers have pointed out throughout the competition that Moth sounds just like her, and there was also a Love Actually clue.
This could be a nod to Sugababes, because their song Too Lost in You featured in the 2003 romantic-comedy film.
However, Moth has also said they have "served in the West until my time was up and I returned to my rightful field", which some believe is a nod to Amber's musical career.
Jamelia (3/1) and Nicola Roberts (5/1) are also in contention.
Brenda Vs Mica
While Keisha is a short-priced favourite to be Moth, the Toastie market is a bit more competitive.
It's been a two-horse race between Brenda Edwards and Mica Paris for a couple of weeks now.
Both have been frontrunners at one stage, but it's Loose Women star Brenda who will start the finale as the favourite to be Toastie.
In the latest Masked Singer episode, a gospel reference appeared to be a nod to Brenda appearing in Sister Act The Musical.
The Masked Singer Odds: Who Is Toastie?
Personality | Odds | Probability |
Brenda Edwards | 8/15 | 65.2% |
Mica Paris | 13/8 | 38.1% |
Judi Love | 2/1 | 33.3% |
Sheridan Smith | 3/1 | 25% |
Rowetta | 5/1 | 16.7% |
And the week before, judge Maya Jama praised her "powerful" voice after Toastie belted out Ike and Tina Turner's River Deep, Mountain High.
That song just happened to be the same one Brenda performed when she auditioned for the second series of The X Factor in 2005.
Brenda has shortened to 8/15, from 4/6, to be Toastie, but 13/8 shot Mica isn't going away.
Brenda's Loose Women co-star Judi Love is a 2/1 shot, but some fans have made a late call that Gavin & Stacey star Sheridan Smith (3/1) could be under the mask, or even Rowetta (5/1).
Ben Goes Odds-On
Conkers is propping up The Masked Singer series seven market as the 2/1 outsider - but it wouldn't be a surprise if the character clinched victory on Saturday night.
The identity of Conkers has been a tricky market to pin down for fans, but TV presenter Ben Shephard has gone odds-on favourite to be under the mask with the finale just days away.
Some viewers previously predicted the This Morning host was Conkers, but they were stumped because he was a guest judge earlier in the series.
The Masked Singer Odds: Who Is Conkers?
Personality | Odds | Probability |
Ben Shephard | 10/11 | 52.4% |
Tom Daley | 2/1 | 33.3% |
Mark Owen | 5/2 | 28.6% |
Sam Thompson | 3/1 | 25% |
Richard Fleeshman | 5/1 | 16.7% |
However, other eagle-eyed fans pointed out that was in episode four, when Conkers didn't compete.
What's more, Conkers' performance in the semi-final sparked further speculation that Ben was under the mask.
He is now 10/11 favourite to be Conkers, after knocking Olympian Tom Daley (2/1) off top spot.
"It's been another incredible Masked Singer series and Moth is rightly favourite after some of the most powerful performances we've seen in the show's history. She deserves to win. But if Moth doesn't turn out to be pop star Keisha Buchanan then I'm a Sugababe." - James Leyfield
However, if there is a shock under any of the final masks it's most likely to be when viewers discover Conkers' identity.
Some are still convinced either Take That singer Mark Owen (5/2) or I'm A Celebrity...Get Me Out Of Here! winner Sam Thompson (3/1) are the character, but theories on former Coronation Street star Richard Fleeshman (5/1) have gone cold in recent weeks.
