William Hill news - X Factor: MK1 deadlock exit costs bookies £11k

MK1 have left the X factor and in the process created an £11,000 sized hole in the pockets of William Hill after a Surrey based customer backed them earlier in the week at 9/2 for £2,000. Charlie and Sim may not be too pleased tonight but that lucky punter will be.

“Kye surviving from deadlock has cost us £11,000. Fair play to the punter who put his money where his mouth is and predicted MK1’s downfall,” said William Hill spokesman Mark Young.

Ella Henderson is 8/11 to win the show, Jahmene Douglas is 11/2, James Arthur is 6/1, Union J 7/1 and Jade Ellis 14/1.
