Opera singer Innocent Masuku is the new favourite to win ITV’s Britain’s Got Talent following his performance in the semi-final on Monday 27 May, according to bookmakers William Hill.

He sang Hans Zimmer’s Now We Are Free from the movie Gladiator, wowing the judges and the public, who voted him through to the final.

After his first audition, judge Amanda Holden described him as “the best opera singer we have ever had,” while his performance in the semi-final earned Innocent a standing ovation and caused Alesha Dixon to comment: “How do you sum it up?

You’re the one to beat. Powerhouse! Chills – I had chills up and down my arm. Mesmerised by you and your talent. Wonderful. Absolutely wonderful.” The other act going through from Monday’s semi-final is Ssaulabi Performance Troupe, the Taekwondo group from South Korea who gave a particularly fiery performance on stage.
