1140: Paddy Power have reported a surge in support for Ray to win the X Factor and have slashed his odds from 5/2 to 2/1 to pip Leona to the post in the Final this Saturday.
Leona is still considered the favourite at 1/3 but all the betting this week has been for the underdog Ray.
Sharon McHugh, spokesperson for
Paddy Power, said: "This weekend we’re expecting to turn over a record €250,000 on the X Factor alone. He might be the underdog but I wouldn’t rule out Ray just yet. He’s a very likeable character and now that Ben is out of the competition, his fans might turn their support to Ray."
