Former Go West frontman Peter Cox is the new favourite to win ITV's Reborn in the USA.
After winning the vote of a Philadelphia audience in Saturday's show, odds on Cox winning the entire series have been slashed to 7-4, making him the new favourite.
He overtakes ex-Spandau Ballet singer Tony Hadley, now on odds of 5-2. Gina G, who faces the UK public vote this week after failing to impress the Philly crowd, is 14-1. Fellow nominee Elkie Brooks is the 25-1 outsider, having been previously well-backed.
Bookmakers William Hill also offer odds of 4-1 on Leee John, 6-1 on 6-1 Haydon Eshun, 8-1 on Michelle Gayle and 14-1 on Sonia.
Meanwhile, ratings for Saturday's show failed to improve on the first week performance. Early figures show the programme managed an average of 3.7 million viewers over 75 minutes from 9pm.
