THE X Factor 2017 grand final attracted over four million viewers, countless of which were probably people betting on a specific winner.
Rak-Su were eventually crowned champions, but these were the final odds on the X Factor winner according to
Rak-Su
Boyband Rak-Su almost found themselves falling at the first hurdle when their version of Justin Timberlake's Senorita failed to impress the judges with Simon Cowell calling it to a halt with the words: "Sorry guys, it's not working for me."
Fortunately their original song I'm Feeling You had the judges singing along.
Their brave decision to perform their own material paid off and they were given four yeses and the chance to spend time with Nicole.
They then went on to be crowned winners of X-Factor 2017.
Grace Davies
Grace Davies reduced Nicole Scherzinger to tears in her debut X Factor audition.
The 20-year-old hopeful performed her original song Roots for the four-strong judging panel but the song had a particular effect on Nicole as she struggled to hold back her emotional reaction.
Likewise, Sharon Osbourne was spotted wiping away tears as she watched Warehouse assistant Grace sing.
Performing it to an audience for the very first time, Walsh labelled it a "hit" while Cowell described it as a "beautiful, beautiful song".
Grace came runner-up as boyband Rak-Su were voted winners of this year's competition.
