Leading Bookmaker Sky Bet have installed teenager Diana Vickers as their latest favourite to win the X-Factor title this year. After her fantastic performance last week, Diana stole the judges’ and viewers’ hearts and is now 9/4 favourite to win the show.

Helen Jacob, Sky Bet’s Head of PR, said: “All three of Cheryl’s girls are strong but Diana is certainly proving most popular in the betting. We’ve taken a string of chunky bets on her to win this week, so we’ve slashed her odds to 2/1.”

With the finalists all joining together to sing their new single ‘Hero’ this week, Louis will be reminded that he’s now down to just one act. Despite this, Sky Bet has installed Dannii as the long shot to be the winning manager at 10/1. Two of Dannii’s three acts look vulnerable this week, with Danny Evans at 13/8 to be eliminated and sing-off survivor Ruth Lorenzo at 9/4 for the chop.

Meanwhile X-Factor is currently favourite to win the National TV Awards ‘Most Popular Talent Show’ at 8/11 ahead of Simon Cowell’s other ratings winner, ‘Britain’s Got Talent’.
