Rylan Clark has been tipped to end up getting himself kicked out of the X Factor.


Bookies are offering odds of 6/1 that he or any of the other contestants are ‘invited’ to leave the competition like Frankie Cocozza last year.

Rylan Clark and Lucy Spraggan packed their bags on Tuesday night and were sent away from the other contestants to think about what they have done and William Hill are offering 6/1 that any of this year’s finalists are ejected from the show for bad behaviour.

Clark is 5/1 to be packing his bag out of the competition this weekend after two ‘skin of the teeth’ survivals. Spraggan is 8/1 to be the next contestant given the boot but seems to have a huge backing of public support.

The favourite to go is Christopher Maloney. The Wildcard winner is 5/2 to leave two weeks after being voted back in. District 3 are second favourites to leave at 11/4 after surviving the bottom two last time out.

“Bad behaviour was highlighted through Frankie Cocozza last year and the producers proved that they won’t stand for it. Rylan and Lucy apologised and got away with this one but next time they may not be so lucky,” said William Hill spokesman Mark Young.

Meanwhile, Spice Girl Mel B is the 6/4 favourite to take over on the X Factor panel if Gary Barlow leaves the show next year. Cheryl Cole and Simon Cowell are 6/1 each and Sharon Osbourne is 8/1.

16-year-old Ella Henderson remains the odds on favourite at 8/11 to win the competition.

The X Factor 2012 continues this Saturday and Sunday night on ITV1.

This weekend will see the remaining eleven finalists singing tracks with a Club Classics theme, while JLS and Labrinth will guest star on Sunday night’s third live results show.
