Digital Spy users have voted Fleur East as their favourite act to win this weekend's X Factor final.
Over 37,000 readers took part in the poll, which saw East secure 58.8% of the overall vote.
Again doesn't seem to make sense with the Daily Star leak. Tellymix poll has Fleur clear too with over 8000 votes
I see what you are saying but I think multiple voting this year due to tablets etc. means that there is going to be so much variance from polls because loads of people vote more than once but in polls you can only vote once.
use gyazo.com . As a fellow betfair exchange trader/better I'm extremely impressed by greening up £550 before the final, so well done!
Well I got on Fleur at 40's, and Ben at 6.8. Fleur was my biggest win, but after reading the Daily Star leak, I greened out. I did regret not piling into Ben at 3.65 at the time, but I wasn't sure how much attention people would pay to the leak. I still might have a good bet on Fleur at 2.7ish, I can see her performing well (like last week) and her being backed, then I will trade off at around evens

Nice strategy, can't you post a screenie? PM me if you want I'd love to chat more about exchange betting.
Is this the only leak of the series? I'm a bit suspicious about the timing of this, I can't remember them ever leaking a result so close to the final. Just can't work out if this a time where they have thrown in a false result or whether it's true but then why do it on the day of the final and ruin the tension of the results.
Either way it's balanced my bet fair out nicely , was chuffed when I checked it today
I don't believe the leak anymore. I know Daily Star always get it right, but I believe this leak is rubbish. Dermot kept mentioning last night that it's the closest final ever, so surely he wouldn't have been told to say that if Ben really is getting twice as many votes as Fleur.
But the main point remains, he was significantly ahead and DESPITE the "OMG UPTOWN FUNK! was amazing!" hysteria she didn't win that week and if she couldn't win that week then she had virtually zero chance of winning tonight
No they didn't, they didn't even mention Lauren or Andrea:
We can reveal that the van driver is storming ahead in the votes.
But all eyes are on his rival Fleur East as many believe that she has already got the victory in the bag.
However, top secret voting records, seen by the Daily Star, reveal that Ben picked up 50% of the votes in last week’s semi-final – more than double those cast for Fleur.
The news blows the competition wide open because, while Fleur is grabbing the headlines, Ben, 29, is the firm favourite with fans at home. Fleur, 26, only managed to pick up 22% of the vote last weekend.
Was almost certainly the phone votes not the app votes. Would suggest the reason their figures for Ben and Andrea were higher (more popular with the older audience)

I'm starting they got Fleur and Ben mixed up

This is what I am thinking lol.
This sounds wise to me.

They've been correct with every single other 'vote leak' story (Rachel Adedeji topping week 3, Eoghan topping certain weeks etc
Same
Or maybe whoever leaked it, inflated the Ben % to awaken the Fleur vote.
They also claimed lauren was bottom
But the main point remains, he was significantly ahead and DESPITE the "OMG UPTOWN FUNK! was amazing!" hysteria she didn't win that week and if she couldn't win that week then she had virtually zero chance of winning tonight

The percentage was off, as many suspected, but the leak itself was clearly accurate.
read the OP
Someone elsewhere pointed out that it may have been misunderstood, as Ben got 50% more votes than Fleur which may be where the 50% came from.
He was still beating her by a long way, which is the important part.
