Britain's Got Talent Odds: Hear Our Voice Favourites For Semi-Final Glory

There were some big Britain's Got Talent shocks in last week's third live semi-final of series 18, and betting sites are struggling to separate three of the most likely qualifiers this weekend. 

In a change from the norm, this weekend's BGT live semi-final will take place on Sunday night, rather than Saturday, because ITV is screening the FA Cup final. 

While the date is different, the format is the same.

Only two of this weekend's eight semi-finalists will make it through to the finale, by winning the public vote or earning a Golden Buzzer. 

Either judge Alesha Dixon or co-hosts Ant and Dec will be on Golden Buzzer duty on Sunday night. 

It was Bruno Tonioli's turn last weekend, and he awarded it to opera singer and drag act Jasmine Rice, who was a 7/2 outsider to qualify before the live semi. 

There was another surprise later that evening when dance group and fellow 7/2 chances Ping Pong Pang won the public vote. 

It meant two odds-on favourites, Electric Umbrella - who had earned one of Simon Cowell's Golden Buzzer's in the auditions - and singer Mickey Callisto were both dumped out of the contest. 

First Class Performance 

The prices on betting apps are much tighter ahead of Sunday night's BGT, with six of the eight wannabes in single-figure odds to qualify. 

Hear Our Voice are Evens favourites to qualify for the grand finale. 

The choir - who are 12/1 to win this year's BGT with Ladbrokes - are made up of victims of the Post Office scandal, and they performed a special track for the judges and audience in episode two, receiving a standing ovation for their efforts. 

However, they will face strong competition in this weekend's live semi-final. 

Britain's Got Talent Odds: To Qualify From Semi-Final 4 

Maya Giotea, a 14-year-old schoolgirl from Romania, isn't far behind at 5/4 to qualify, and it wouldn't be a surprise to see one of the two frontrunners earn the Golden Buzzer and the other qualify first in the public vote. 

In series 18's sixth episode, singer Maya - who is 14/1 to win the contest - had barely finished her performance of Beyonce's Listen when Bruno lent over and smashed his Golden Buzzer to send her straight into the live semi-finals. 

The former Strictly judge admitted he was "completely blown away" by Maya's performance, and said she "killed" the tune. 

Britain's Got Talent Odds: Outright Winner

Max To Outfox Semi-Final Rivals? 

Another singer who impressed during the auditions was Max Fox. 

Judge Amanda Holden was so in awe of his performance in the final auditions episode of the series she pressed her Golden Buzzer for a second time. 

Max is a unique contestant in this year's series, because he wasn't even due to audition for the show. 

He shouted out to Simon from the audience, begging to be given a chance to try out - and the music mogul, who was convinced it was a set-up, allowed him to audition. 

After his incredible performance of My Way, Amanda sent Max into the semi-finals. 

Wind up or not, Max now has a chance of reaching the grand final. 

He is just 6/4 to qualify, and he is 16/1 to win the competition, but just 10/1 with some bookmakers. 

Magician TK Magic is 11/5 to qualify, just behind by comedian Joseph Charm (2/1), who was in the same auditions episode as Max.

Joseph is 25/1 to go all the way and bag the £250,000 cash prize and a spot on the bill at the Royal Variety Performance by winning series 18, while TK is 33/1 with most UK bookmakers. 

Time To Preach, Papi? 

However, novelty musician Papi doesn't look to have much of a chance of reaching this year's final. 

He is the only one of the eight wannabes in double-figure odds to qualify at 33/1. What's more, Papi is a massive 150/1 to win the contest. 

Dance groups Obsequious and Idolls shouldn't get their hopes up either, if the prices are anything to go by. 

Idolls are 10/1 outsiders to qualify, but a massive 100/1 to win the whole thing, while Obsequious are 8/1 to progress to the final and 66/1 for series 18 victory.
