X Factor presenter Dermot O’Leary has revealed that he thinks one of Simon Cowell's acts will win this year’s show.

Dermot, who is supposed to be impartial, let slip his thoughts on the red carpet at last night’s Daily Mirror Pride Of Britain Awards.

At first Dermot was reluctant to reveal which judge he thought would walk away with the crown, however, it wasn’t long before he let his true feelings known.

“You know I can’t answer that. There are snipers trained on me as we speak…I think Simon has a great chance with one of his over 25s.”
