"Sunday's announcement now looks set to be one of the most anticipated Christmas chart shows of recent times."

Simon Cowell could be raging this Christmas as Joe becomes betting outsider...


A Facebook group set up to prevent Joe McElderry from having the Christmas No. 1 single appears to be on the verge of sensational success, with the chances of a non-X Factor No. 1 now odds-on, according to Betfair customers.

Only two days ago, McElderry was as short as [1.17] on to be announced as a chart-topper this Sunday, yet his odds now stand at Evens, with the price of a non-X Factor Xmas song triumphing just [1.91].

The field's charge is lead by Rage Against The Machine's Killing In The Name, which is the track that the online anti-X Factor brigade have urged supporters to download.

Betfair spokesman Ari Last said: "We were aware that the online campaign was gathering pace, yet even so, the dramatic development of Joe no longer being the favourite is a major surprise.

"Sunday's announcement now looks like being one of the most anticipated Christmas chart shows of recent times."
