William Hill news - X Factor: Damaged Vocal Chords Could Lead To Ellis Exit

Jade Ellis was backed from 11/4 to 6/4 to be in the bottom two of the X Factor public vote on Sunday night after a below par performance due to damaged vocal chords 24 hours earlier. She survived but William Hill have already cut the odds of her leaving this week from 10/1 to 8/1.

Christopher Maloney is favourite to be eliminated for the third week running and is 5/2. Controversial Rylan Clark has a fan in Robbie Williams and is 11/4 to be voted off whilst deadlock saved Kye Sones is 3/1 for the exit.

“Ellis impressed in the opening weeks but is struggling to overcome her problem which is a shame because if she is fit and healthy she is a real contender for the X Factor crown,” said William Hill spokesman Mark Young.

Ella Henderson is 4/6 to win the X Factor. Jahmene Douglas is an 11/2 shot and James Arthur is 6/1 with boy band Union J a 7/1 chance for victory.
