DIANA NEARS EXITX FACTOR star Diana Vickers survived being booted off the show last week by less than half a per cent.
The Lancashire lass, who missed a week singing with laryngitis, is being shunned by voters.
Early on she was the bookies’ favourite, but show sources have revealed she has won only one week of voting.
After last Saturday’s poll she was only a whisker in front of eliminated Ruth Lorenzo, 25.
Now it is Irish lad Eoghan Quigg who is pulling in the votes. He has not been out of the top two and has led the voting six times.
Current bookies’ favourite, Alexandra Burke, 20, pipped 16-year-old Eoghan to first place last week, the first time she had topped the voting.
An ITV source said: “Eoghan’s been pulling in about a third of votes in most weeks. He’s still in the game but his fans can’t get complacent.
“However, Diana’s a lucky girl. She’s got to pull her socks up.”
JLS are tipped by bookmakers to lose out in tonight’s semi-final.
Meanwhile, superstar Beyoncé Knowles, 27, is in talks to sing a duet with Alexandra if she makes next week’s final.
And 56-year-old Louis Walsh’s manband Boyzone will perform with JLS if they make the final, even though Boyzone’s Stephen Gately, 32, is tipping Alex.
Crooner James Morrison, 24, is lined up to sing with Diana, 17, while boss Simon Cowell, 49, has not made up his mind who will duet with Eoghan.
