Simon Cowell is now the outsider to win the battle of the artist managers on the X Factor show. With the number of artists now down to nine, bookies say Sharon Osbourne is favourite to win the contest.
Ladbrokes spokesman Warren Lush told reporters: "The odds suggest Sharon Osbourne is managing acts that are more likely to win the competition and she's undoubtedly in pole position. Early money suggests Simon's best hope is with Rowetta. Tabby Callaghan (3/1), Roberta Howett (4/1) and G4 (4/1) have all been well backed in recent hours. We have also been forced to cut the odds on Rowetta from 8/1 to 5/1after interest. The early bookies favourite is Tabby Callaghan, punters clearly think he's one to watch."
Having never seen the show I have no idea what he's talking about, and find it very hard to care, but consider yourself informed.
