This is very surprising...

The X Factor returns to our screens this month with a brand new celebrity version, and you won’t believe who the early favourite to win is.

A host of famous faces have been confirmed to take part in the brand new series, and they will be judged by Simon Cowell, Louis Walsh and Nicole Scherzinger.

The contestants will be split into Groups, Overs and Unders – and rugby trio Try Star have already been tipped to win the show.

Former internationals Thom Evans and Ben Foden have linked up with current Bath man Levi Davis to form what is believed to be a very impressive boy band – and they are the early favourites to take the title with odds of 5/1.

However, reality star turned country singer Megan McKenna has a shot at taking the crown too, as bookmakers have made her 6/1 to win.

EastEnders heartthrob Jonny Labey follows closely behind with 7/1 odds, and the Love Island super group have secured opening odds of 8/1.

The group is made up of Wes Nelson, Zara McDermott, Eyal Booker and Samira Mighty – and they’re sure to have an advantage in the competition as they have the most Instagram followers combined.

OddsMonkey spokesman Peter Watton commented: “The new version of the X Factor has plenty of people talking, and it is so hard to predict at this stage…are they all taking it seriously? Are some just having a good time?”

“Clearly the Bookmakers have had money on Try Star, and they are clearly ones to watch as they would not be favourites without a good reason.”

“One contestant taking it seriously is Meghan McKenna, we know she has been looking at a signing career and if she can impress Simon Cowell et al, then a singing career could be on the cards.”
