Mystery X Factor Punters Piles On MacDonald Brothers

William Hill have seen a rush of big punts on the MacDonald brothers to win the X Factor from Glasgow based punters and the bookies have halved their price from 40/1 to 20/1.

"This could be one of the great betting coups as on ability alone the MacDonald brother have no chance of winning and the odds have reflected that. But what started as a trickle has now turned into a flood of bets on the Scottish Duo and despite the fact that they are 20/1 they are our second worst result. You can see the public making them winners just to spite Simon as he has been very vocal in his criticism of the pair," said William Hill's spokesman Rupert Adams.

Jason Donovan is back to 13/8 favourite to win I'm A Celeb after showing his caring side and looking after Jan during her Bush-tucker trial, Dean is the 3/1 second favourite and Myleene is next at 7/2.

William Hill X Factor Winner: 1/2 Leona, 9/4 Ben, 8/1 Eton Road, 20/1 The Mac Donald Brothers, 33/1 Ray.

William Hill I'm A Celebrity Winner: 13/8 Jason Donovan, 3/1 Dean Gaffney, 7/2 Myleene Klass, 4/1 David Gest, 12/1 Matt Willis, 20/1 Toby Anstis, 20/1 Malandra Burrows, 33/1 Jan Leeming, 50/1 Lauren Booth, 50/1 Faith Brown, 66/1 Scott Henshall, 66/1 Phina Oruche.
