Jay James X Factor Hopes Begin To Slip Away

X Factor has had its first fatalities as two acts got the swift boot from the show following the first live show.

Blonde Electra were the first to go whilst Overload Generation faced Steph Nala in the sing off. Overload Generation made their departure after deadlock revealed Steph received more votes. Steph is not out of the dark yet at the big price of 80/1 to win.

Andrea is ruling the roost as the 6/4 favourite and will be hard to beat.

One man who looks up to the task is Ben Haenow, who is on the move once more as he is cut into 9/2 from 5/1.

Lauren Platt is next in the betting at 11/2 and will certainly give the boys a run for their money.

Jay James may be the pick for the judges but punters have lost interest in him and he has been pushed right out to 25/1 from 9/1.

Paul Akister is also fading into the background as he drifts out to 14/1 to 12/1.

Louis is down to just two acts after losing two in the first results show and Stereo Kicks are looking like his only hope to win at 15/2.

Fleur East is making her way up the betting having been cut into 16/1 from 25/1 after the live show and she has been cut yet again from 16/1 into 12/1.
