Masked Singer odds clash with viewer predictions on who's who for Panda and Traffic Cone

Bookmakers and Masked Singer are at odds with each other on the identity of two of the remaining acts on the ITV show.

Ahead of Saturday’s semi final, bookies Betfair published their latest odds as to who is hiding the mask of the last five contestants - Robobunny, Mushroom, Rockhopper, Traffic Cone and Panda.

The odds for Robobunny, Rockhopper and Mushroom have frontrunners that match up with fan predictions, but the odds for Traffic Cone and Panda differ.

Both bookies and Masked Singer viewers are now in firm agreement that Mark Feehily from Westlife is Robobunny, Destiny Child’s Michelle Williams is Rockhopper and Mushroom is none other than Charlotte Church.

But, while the name on everyone’s lips for Panda is now soap star turned pop star Natalie Imbruglia, Betfair have Amanda Holden as odds on favourite to be the celeb in disguise.

And, while viewer pic Aled Jones is second favourite to be Traffic Cone, it’s fellow singer Alfie Boe out in front with the bookies.

Betfair spokesperson Sam Rosbottom said: "Armchair sleuths were almost all correct in guessing Doughnuts to be Michael Owen, but stumped by Jaime Winstone being revealed as Firework. Now we are down to the crunch stage of the contest, with five strong singers all making it through to the semi-final stage.

"So it is no surprise that four of the five favourites to be behind the masks are all professional singers, such as Charlotte Church at 6/4 to be Mushroom and Alfie Boe 5/4 to be Traffic Cone.

"Indeed, the only 'non singer' in the favourites list still has a good singing voice in Amanda Holden who is 10/11 to be Panda. "Meanwhile, an interesting new favourite to emerge for the first time is for Destiny's Child member Michelle Williams to be Rockhopper at 15/8, followed closely by Robyn at 5/2."
