Man Places Whopping £20,000 on X Factor Finalist to Win

Fleur East is the favourite to take home The X Factor crown this weekend, according to the bookies. In fact, one Ladbrokes customer is so confident in her chances that he has placed £20,000 on her winning the show. Andrea Faustini has gone from being the favourite to being the rank outsider while Ben Haenow is the one most likely to cause an upset. Fleur East has been tipped as the favourite ahead of this weekend's final. The public aren’t the only ones who reckon Fleur is going to be victorious this weekend as judge Cheryl Fernandez-Versini also revealed that she’s backing the last remaining girl in the competition. When asked to pick one of the three finalists at a recent press conference, she said: “I really think you can make an argument for all of them and I’m not just ducking the question, because if I had one person I would say it.” Cheryl Fernandez-Versini has said she thinks the last remaining girl can win. She added:  “Obviously Andrea’s our male diva and he’s going to kill it with the vocal. We’ve got Fleur, I don’t think in any series I’ve been in we’ve had someone who does everything: sing, dance, rap, you know the whole shenanigans. “Then you’ve got the little heartthrob Ben who I think the ladies will be voting for, with the gravelly voice and his image.” When pushed further, the former Girls Aloud singer finally gave a name: “I do think you could make a valid point for all of them, but I’ve always had the girls, so I’m going to go for the one remaining girl, Fleur.”
