X Factor: James to bounce back – Another shock on the cards?

James Arthur is looking to bounce back from last week’s bottom two disappointment and William Hill think that his fans will be picking up their phones this week making him 9/2 to be in the bottom two and 16/1 to leave. The favourite to go is Rylan Clark at 11/10 with Christopher Maloney 15/8.

If another shock is to be on the cards, James and the 4/5 favourite Jahmene Douglas are 50/1 to be the bottom two combination this week. Rylan and Union J is the favourite combo at 6/4 with the controversial acts of Rylan and Christopher a 5/2 chance.

“The X Factor has had a number of shocks so far this series and with Rylan still in the competition, there is still time left for there to be a couple more,” said William Hill spokesman Mark Young.
