OUR Ben Haenow is the bookies favourite to win the X Factor - and it seems he has some high-profile backing too.
The 29-year-old from Shirley is being supported by the world's biggest boyband One Direction - so much so that they chose his first song, The Beatles' Come Together, on Saturday's show.
Then, on Sunday's results programme, both Ella Henderson and former X Factor boyband Union J said they wanted Ben to win the show.
Ahead of this weekend's semi-finals, Ben has moved to the top of the bookmakers' odds, priced 11/8 (Oddschecker) to win the show.
Fleur East is second favourite on 7/4, followed by Andrea Faustini on 5/1 and outsider Lauren Platt on 16/1.
