Can he win?...

Although we still have no idea which category the judges will have this year, Simon Cowell is already the bookmakers favourite to mentor the winning act!
Bookies William Hill think Simon is the hot favourite at odds of 6-4. Sharon is an admirable second and Louis places third. For avid fans this is quite surprising as Sharon is the only judge that hasn’t had a winning act so far – so fans believe she could steal the crown this year.
Pretty much every bookie on the planet think the Christmas number one will come courtesy of the new X Factor winner, but if you think Shane Ward could pip them to the post you can currently get cracking odds of 20-1!
