It may only be week 1 in this year’s Britains got talent but it appears that a new star is born. The world has seemingly gone mad for 47-year-old ‘babe’, Susan Boyle. Just three days after her debut appearance on Saturday’s show this clip of her wowing the judges has already been viewed more than 3 million times.

You won’t be surprised then that Paddy Power and Skybet make her the early series favourite to be crowned winner of the talent show at odds of 2/1! What?!? 2/1? We’ve hardly even seen a handful of acts.

But never mind she’s destined to become a megastar, after all Paddy Power reckon she’s just 1/3 to get a recording deal from Simon Cowell and just 20/1 to be number one at Christmas this year. She’s even made the news stateside too as well as featuring on our new favourite blog over at UnrealityTV.

Of the other early contenders, Flawless are 5/1 (Paddy Power). They were good but I’ve kinda had enough of these group dance acts with no originality. But one dance act I did love were father and son team Stavros Flately who lampooned the Riverdance big’head. They’re 8/1 (Skybet) to win the competition but unfortunately I think they’re a one-performance act and will struggle to repeat Saturday’s surprise routine.

The bookies are also offering odds on some real no-hopers. Good Evans were more like the Adams Family than the Partridge family to me and it’s 20/1 (Skybet) that they win, with or without maw and paw. And as for that floozie Fabia (or should it be Flabia) Cerra it’s no wonder she’s 100/1 (Skybet). I’m no prude but who wants to see that prancing about on stage with her bits out any more than once. Put them away doll!

My advice at the moment woud be to keep your money in your purse until we see the other contenders emerge from the freak weeks.
