Paddy Power have opened a book on which judge will be first to go in the X Factor, and make Kelly Rowland as their 7/4 favourite after she allegedly flew home following a row with Tulisa Contostavlos.
The latter is 11/4 along with Gary Barlow, with stalwart Louis Walsh a 3/1 chance.
Paddy Power said: “The X Factor has become a bit of a soap opera this week and with the producers desperate to boost ratings a major shake-up could well be on the cards!”.
Meanwhile, William Hill have slashed the odds of Simon Cowell returning show for the live final to 5/1 from 10/1 after the show took a ratings hit last weekend.
“The X-Factor has really taken a ratings hit in recent weeks and while one week could possibly be passed off as an anomaly it has now become clear that something has to change and a return from Simon would certainly provide a much needed boost,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.
