New: Free Bet at Ladbrokes - No US Players

Alex Burke has rocketed to the top of the X Factor betting after her sensational Saturday blew away punters, the judges and her rivals.

Bookie Paddy Power slashed the odds on Alex from 4/1 to 6/5 favourite as X Factor viewers piled onto the 20 year old diva. Back in September Alex had been as big as 10/1 to win the show.

"You could almost see the international dollar signs flashing in Simon Cowell’s eyes after Alex’s sensational songs on Saturday," Sharon McHugh, showbiz betting expert of the bookmaker, commented.

"It’s difficult to imagine the other remaining finalists being able to break out of the UK whereas Alex’s performance was international class and punters were quick to react," McHugh continued.

Former betting favourite Diana is now joint second favourite with Eoghan at 5/2 after one of her worst weeks of the series.

The bare-footed singer had been massively backed for the boot during the show on Saturday but was reprieved when Ruth was given the thumbs down. And Boyband JLS are the 9/1 outsiders.
