X Factor's Rhydian Roberts looks unbeatable as the talent show draws to its closing stages.

The 24-year-old, from Powys, Wales, who wowed the judges and millions of viewers on Saturday's live show, has fought off competition in the betting from fellow Under 25 Leon Jackson.

Ladbrokes spokesman Nick Weinberg said: "Leon is Rhydian's closest rival and even he's well off the pace. He looked set to challenge the favourite following Saturday night's show. But punters have only been interested in the Welshman since the weekend."

Rhydian is on odds of 4/11 to take the £1 million recording deal.

Nick added: "Rhydian looks set to win the series and inevitably bag Christmas No 1 in the process."

Meanwhile, 18-year-old Leon is in second place on 4/1 while the last remaining Over 25, Niki, is third on 7/1.

And brother and sister duo Same Difference look set to be booted off next week's semi-final show as they trail in the betting on 10/1.
