Two acts have shot straight to the top of the favourites list...

After last weekend’s shows, we’ve officially seen all the acts eligible to win X Factor 2014. (That is, of course, unless the judge pull a One Direction and form a group from rejected solo acts.)

Now, the betting has started in earnest and we know who the early favourites are to win the current series.

Topping the pile at the moment is Paul Akister, who returned after being cut from last year’s show and charmed the judges with a silky smooth rendition of Marvin Gaye’s Let’s Get It On. He is currently 9/2.

Hot on Paul’s heels is fishmonger Lola Saunders, who stole last night’s show. Lola is at 5/1 to win the show outright.

X Factor continues this weekend with no less than three Boot Camp shows, where the judges will be seen learning which category they have for 2014.
