There’s a favourite to win the X Factor and you might be surprised

We don't agree with this one.

Matt Terry is the early favourite to win this year’s X Factor according to odds released today.

The final 12 were revealed last night and in case you missed it, below are the acts who will compete against each other in the live shows.

  • Brooks Way
  • 5 After Midnight
  • Bratavio (Ottavio and Bradley)
  • Samantha Lavery
  • Gifty Louise
  • Emily Middlemas
  • Relley C
  • Saara Aalto
  • Honey G
  • Ryan Lawrie
  • Freddy Parker
  • Matt Terry

At his initial audition, Matt, who’s the double of Louis Tomlinson, impressed the judges with his rendition of Stand By Me and at the weekend, his performance at Judges’ Houses went down a treat with Nicole Scherzinger and Calvin Harris.

While Matt is great, people are understandably annoyed that other acts were booted out including Niall Sexton, Samantha Atkinson and Janet Gorgan to name but a few.

Anyway, the long and the short of it is that Matt is now through to live shows and he’s already been named as the one to watch this year.

According to METRO, bookmakers William Hill believe Matt is going to go all the way with odds of 5/2.

In second place is Emily Middlemass at 7/2 and third then is 5 After Midnight at 4/1.

Do you agree or is there someone else who stands out as a clear winner?
