Leona favourite to claim X Factor crown

Singer Leona Lewis is currently favourite to win 'The X Factor' next Saturday night.

According to bookmakers William Hill, the 21-year-old former receptionist is now at odds of 1/3 to be the first ever woman to win the reality show.

Fellow finalist Ray Quinn, who is 18-years-of-age, is at odds of 9/4 to win the show outright.
