The Masked Singer Odds: Porter And Barks Favourites To Be Unmasked In Finale
The Masked Singer's semi-final saw two more characters axed last weekend, as Bear and Bush were eliminated from the ITV show.
Example, who was 4/6 favourite on betting sites to be Bear, was unmasked as the character, and Natalie Cassidy was revealed to be Bush.
The Masked Singer Odds: Who Will Win?
Personality | Odds | Probability |
Dressed Crab | Evens | 50% |
Pufferfish | 11/8 | 42/1% |
Wolf | 6/4 | 40% |
The EastEnders legend had been a 4/5 frontrunner to be Bush, but last week some viewers thought it might be Morgana Robinson doing an impression of the soap stalwart.
Following the double elimination, Dressed Crab, Wolf and Pufferfish have advanced to Saturday night's grand final - but who will win the series?
Dressed Crab To Snatch Victory
Dressed Crab is the Evens favourite on betting apps to win this year's Masked Singer - but it's an incredibly close market.
Gregory Porter is into 4/7 favourite to be revealed as the character in Saturday's finale.
The American singer-songwriter has been there or thereabouts at the top of the Dressed Crab market for weeks now, and even show detective Mo Gilligan thinks the Be Good hitmaker is under the mask.
The Masked Singer Odds: Who Is Dressed Crab?
Personality | Odds | Probability |
Gregory Porter | 4/7 | 63.6% |
Teddy Swims | 11/8 | 42.1% |
Michael Kiwanuka | 2/1 | 33.3% |
Teddy Crews | 3/1 | 25% |
Nile Rodgers | 4/1 | 20% |
Some of Dressed Crab's clues have included American football, fashion and water.
Porter has a debut album called Water and he used to play American football at university.
What's more, he has the same surname as Billy Porter, who regularly pushes fashion boundaries, and even has a song called In Fashion.
Viewers Barking Up The Right Tree
Pufferfish is the toughest of the three characters left to guess, according to the markets, but Samantha Barks is odds-on favourite to be under the mask.
The West End star has been cut to 8/13 to be Pufferfish after several clues appeared to match up. France was one clue that could be a reference to Samantha, after she appeared as Eponine in 2012 film Les Miserables.
What's more, there have appeared to be some hints to Barks portraying Elsa on the West End.
The Masked Singer Odds: Who Is Pufferfish?
Personality | Odds | Probability |
Samantha Barks | 8/13 | 61.9% |
Hannah Waddingham | 6/4 | 40% |
Kym Marsh | 7/4 | 36.4% |
Jodie Prenger | 2/1 | 33.3% |
Lucy Fallon | 3/1 | 25% |
One recent clue was a framed picture of Coronation Street icon Gail Platt, who was played by soap stalwart Helen Worth.
Some believed this could be a nod to Corrie stars past and present, including Kym Marsh (7/4), Jodie Prenger (2/1) or Lucy Fallon (3/1).
But others think Gail Platt could be a reference to Samantha having her hair in a plait when she played Elsa.
Ted Lasso star Hannah Waddingham (6/4) is a late entrant to the Pufferfish market, but it would be a big surprise if Barks isn't under the mask.
Pellow To Let Out A Wolf Bellow
Marti Pellow is into 1/3 to be Wolf.
It would be one of the biggest Masked Singer shocks of all time if the Wet Wet Wet frontman didn't turn out to be the bellowing character, after he was favourite from Wolf's first episode.
Wolf is the outsider of the three to win the series at 6/4, but the character isn't far behind second favourite Pufferfish (11/8).
The Masked Singer Odds: Who Is Wolf?
Personality | Odds | Probability |
Marti Pellow | 1/3 | 75% |
Luke Evans | 3/1 | 25% |
Darren Day | 7/2 | 22.2% |
Jim Kerr | 4/1 | 20% |
Simon Le Bon | 5/1 | 16.7% |
It really wouldn't be a shock if Wolf went on to taste victory, especially as the character has avoided being in the bottom two throughout the series.
If there is a huge surprise in the grand final and Marti isn't unmasked as Wolf, then it is likely to be 3/1 shot Luke Evans or 7/2 chance Darren Day.
