Walsh, Cole think Olly will win show?

'X Factor' judges Louis Walsh and Cheryl Cole have reportedly secretly tipped Olly Murs to win the series, a report claims.

According to The Mirror, both stars backed Simon Cowell's contestant in the secret ballot organised for ITV spinoff 'The Xtra Factor'.

Earlier this year, host Holly Willoughby was seen asking the panellists to predict the winner. She then hid each judge's choice in a box, where they will remain until the end of the series.

A source said: "Louis and Cheryl have both admitted to picking Simon's act Olly. They think he's the most likely winner. It'll be tough for their own acts to take, but it's the truth."

Walsh's Groups category is currently represented by twins John & Edward. Meanwhile, Cole still has Lloyd Daniels and Joe McElderry remaining in the contest.
