Analysis
Ella Henderson once again finishes first, with Union J closely following, moving up two places from last week. James Arthur keeps his position in the top three, while Jahmene slips down to fifth. Rylan Clark is this week's biggest climber, moving up four places to eighth. It isn't a good week for the Over 28s, as Kye Sones, Christopher Maloney and Melanie Masson make up the bottom three. Everything could change though as we get closer to the results show.

Next update coming soon...

Thanks for this. Very interesting.
Gary won't be happy if this happens.
