Britain's Got Talent odds predict 'two horse race' after Golden Buzzer controversy

Bookies are suggesting that this year's Britain's Got Talent is a 'two horse race,' after there was more controversy about the final Golden Buzzer act at the weekend.

After the ITV show was scrapped in its entirety last year due to the coronavirus pandemic, viewers have loved having it back in serious style this year, with Ant and Dec back at the helm as hosts and Simon Cowell, Amanda Holden, David Walliams and Alesha Dixon back on the panel. A huge audience tuned into the double header of launch episodes over Easter weekend, and, just as they have done in the past, the Golden Buzzers quickly became a subject of contention.

It didn't take Amanda long at at all to hit hers. In the closing moments of episode one, the Heart Breakfast host sent Loren Allred, the voice of Greatest Showman a nthem, Never Enough, straight through to the semi finals. Amanda's decision did not go down too well with some Britain's Got Talent viewers, given Loren's voice has already been heard the world over, she's had a record deal and performed with music greats like Michael Buble, Andrea Bocelli and David Foster.
