With only days remaining until the Britain’s Got Talent final, bookmakers have installed one act as the clear favorite to take home the £250,000 prize. Instead of building excitement, the latest odds are fueling a different conversation. Some viewers are beginning to wonder whether the competition is still wide open — or if one contestant has already pulled too far ahead to catch.

Bookmakers have released their final odds on who they believe will win the 2026 competition, following the conclusion of the semi-finals. Spoken word performer Sonny Green wowed the judges with his poetry in the Britain’s Got Talent auditions and impressed one judge in particular in his semi-final.

In the fourth semi-final which aired on Saturday, May 16, audiences were begging Simon Cowell to award his golden buzzer to Cardiff’s Glantaf Boys Choir, however Sonny won the privilege of being catapulted to the grand final.

‌In total, 10 acts will be heading to the grand final on Saturday, May 30.

Alongside Sonny, performing on the night will be Jeremy Clarkson’ Hawkstone Farmers Choir, drone performers Celestial, singer Matty Juniosa, stunt artist Liwei Yang, Anastasiia and her dog Salsa, and singing magician Fabian Fox.

There is still time for BGT to announce a shock twist, where there may be a chance to elect a wildcard to compete on the evening. Only time will tell, if this is the case.

The Hawkstone Farmers Choir have surged to odds of 18/5, Celestial are following close behind with odds of 15/4, and Matty Juniosa still has a chance with odds of 4/1.

Chief Operating Officer of BetGoodwin, Ben Head, has said: “The traders still have Sonny Green as favourite, but it’s nowhere near as clear-cut as it looked earlier in the week. His odds have drifted from 6/5 to 13/8 after a slightly less dominant semi-final performance.

“The Hawkstone Farmers Choir have really caught the eye – they’re now 18/5 and the clear danger to the favourite. Celestial and Matty Juniosa are also very much in the mix.”

“The judges have zero voting power in the Final, but their critiques can heavily sway the audience at home. If Sonny delivers on the night, he’ll still take some beating.

“That said, Britain’s Got Talent is never short of surprises. A stunning live performance from a choir or a fresh semi-final standout could completely flip the public vote. Anything could happen.”
