- Ten Acts appearing in final confirmed, with Comic Axel Blake winning the last semi-final
- Eva Abley backed into 3/1 second favourite with bookmakers
- No Magic in the Final, but could be resolved with a Wild Card Act
- Betting site makes MAxwell Thorpe favourite again with a 35% chance of scooping the prize
Axel Blake and Aneeshwar Kunchala have grabbed the last two spots in Sunday night's Grand Finale of Britain's Got Talent. The comedian and the 'environmentalist' progress through the public vote, although there has been some controversy in the elimination of Welsh in the West End being voted off by the judges themselves in favour of a 7year old reading a poem.
Eva Abley the young comedienne has been the biggest mover with betting sites, now rated as the second favourite at just 3/1 ahead of Tom Ball and Loren Allred, in a betting market that has moved around more than Ant and Dec, and their presenting positions this week.

Who Will be The Wild Card Act?
We know there will be a wild card act making an appearance in the final, and there are a few possibilities. Immi Davis, the young singer has already been touted as a possible by Simon Cowell, although IMD Legion can surely not be chosen ahead of unlucky losers Welsh in the West End, who finished higher in the public vote and were ultimately voted off by the judges in favour of Aneeshwar Kunchala.
To be Chosen as the Wild Card
Welsh of the West End will be on everyone's minds, due to the strange judges choice [if we take political messages out of the equation] and the fact it happened on the last semi-final, but they key element to consider is there is no Magic on the finale as yet, and two semi final third placed acts were magicians, Junwoo and Keiichi Isawaki
