The Voice UK 2019: Molly Hocking is the current favourite to win

Molly Hocking is the favourite to win The Voice UK 2019 ahead of Saturday’s final.

The weekend saw this year’s nine semi-finalists sing live for the first time.

Coaches Sir Tom Jones, Will.i.am, Jennifer Hudson and Olly Murs all offered opinions but viewer votes alone determined the results.

After a public vote, host Emma Willis announced the top four acts who were through to the final and the five acts heading home.

In no particular order, those put through to the final by the public were Bethzienna Williams (Team Tom), Molly Hocking (Team Olly), Deana Walmsley (Team Tom) and Jimmy Balito (Team Olly).

That meant that trio Nxt Gen, Moya, Nicole Dennis, Emmanuel Smith and Cedric Neal all went home, leaving both Jennifer and Will with no acts in the final.

Molly is currently the odd-on 4-5 favourite with Star Sports bookmakers to win The Voice this year after securing her place in the grand final on Saturday night.

The 18-year old is the youngest act in the competition and will take her place alongside three other finalists this Saturday night.

“Molly has impressed throughout the series and her outstanding performance in the semi final puts her head and shoulders above the others in the final,” said Star’s spokesman, Gary Burton.
