X Factor: Bonanza Night For Bookies After Ella Gets Boot!

Bookies William Hill were celebrating their best ever X Factor elimination result after 50/1 outsider Ella Henderson got the boot on Sunday night. “We wiped the floor on Sunday night, I cannot find a single big bet for Ella to get the boot, it is without doubt one of the most surprising result in reality TV betting history,” said William Hill spokesman Rupert Adams.

As a result of Ella’s shock elimination, Jahmene Douglas is the odds on 8/11 favourite with William Hill, James Arthur is 2/1. Christopher Maloney has to be seen as a genuine contender after avoiding the bottom two for the entire series and he is 7/1 to win.

“A few days ago I would have been happy to say that I would eat my hat if either Rylan or Christopher won but now I have no idea,” said William Hill spokesman Rupert Adams.
