As the X Factor final approaches in a few hours time both contestants and judges are usually tight lipped so as not to be biased.
Not so this year, as the only judge remaining in the competition is Simon Cowell!
He has already won the X Factor as a judge and is looking forward to either one of his contestants taking the crown tonight.
After promoting songstress Leona throughout the competition, the hot news from Simon during one of his wanders round London is that he believes Ray Quinn is now the favourite!
Simon says, "There is support for both of them and they have good songs. If I had to call one I couldn�t call it. Though I think Ray is slightly the favourite now so it could be his."
Ray has also received a boost from top-selling British tabloid The Sun, who has come out in favour of the pint-sized star.
The received wisdom seems to be that whilst Leona is a great performer, she's completely boring - and therefore lacking in the vital 'X Factor'.
However, if you don't agree you can soon make your feelings known once and for all!
