One ballsy punter has bet £20,000 on Fleur East winner The X Factor 2014 this weekend.

A Ladbrokes customer placed the bet today, ahead of the first live show from Wembley Arena on Saturday night.

The male from Chelsea stands to double his money if Simon Cowell’s latest superstar justifies her position as the red-hot odds-on favourite at 4/11 to be named as this year’s winner on Sunday night.

Going into the weekend, Ben Haenow’s chalked up at 11/4 to be the act most likely to cause an upset, but despite having been the favourite to win since his first audition, punters have completely shunned Andrea Faustini recently, making him the rank outsider at 14/1.

Fleur also finds herself in prime position to land the 2014 Christmas Number One single as the 8/15 favourite to top the charts.

Jessica Bridge of Ladbrokes said: “Fleur’s flying high as the favourite and it’s impossible to see Ben or Andrea winning now. She’s peaked at the right time and punters are convinced she’s already got the title in the bag.”

She added: “Andrea might as well head straight to Heathrow rather than Wembley this weekend as he’s not got a hope in hell of winning.”

Idk, is this the biggest ever bet someone has made on X Factor? I know someone bet like £3000 on Lauren winning, and there was another big bet a few series ago but I can't quite remember who.
