CROYDON'S finest Ben Haenow is through to the X Factor semi-finals - and is now the bookies favourite to win the show.
The 29-year-old van driver, from Shirley, went through on the public vote on Sunday thanks to impressive renditions of The Beatles' Come Together and Ed Sheeran hit Thinking Out Loud on Saturday night's show.
Ben, who has been either second or third favourite to win since the live shows began in October, is now priced as short as 11/8 to win, ahead of second favourite Fleur East on 13/8.
The semi-finals take place next weekend, followed by the live final on December 13 and 14 at Wembley Arena.
