Bookmakers William Hill saw their hopes of getting Leona beaten in the X factor dashed last night as Ben was voted off the show.
Leona is now the red hot 2/7 favourite to win with Ray offered at 5/2. "Leona is a big loser for us and we felt that Ben was our only chance of getting her beaten, sadly Ben's chances were scuppered when Ray broke down in tears and we can only hope that he does the same in the final next week," said Hills spokesman Rupert Adams.
The X factor winner (Leona) is the 2/9 favourite to have the Christmas number 1 with Take That offered at 14/1 and Jungle King Matt Willis offered at 33/1.
