X Factor Finalists 2008

X Factor - Will Simon Cowell make Laura White cry?

Friday, 10 October 2008

The pressure is building for Alexandra Burke, Diana Vickers and the rest of the X Factor 2008 finalists.

When the time comes to listen to the judges feedback will Laura White, Girlband and Bad Lashes manage to fight back the tears?

No one likes to hear bad feedback so we can expect quite a few tears once Simon Cowell delivers his verdict.

Sky Bet has stopped taking bets on any X Factor contestant to cry on Saturday's live show after the bookmaker was inundated with punters backing the odds from 8/11 to 1/3 for the singers to blub.

Emotions were seen to be running high in boot camp from the boys as well as girls, but it wasn't just the contestants - Sky Bet is offering 7/4 for X-Factor judge Cheryl Cole to cry on the launch show.

One group who could be set for tears is Girlband, who are the 2/1 favourites to be the first act eliminated from this year's show.

Helen Jacob, Sky Bet spokesperson said: "We've seen more tears than ever before on this year's X Factor!

"Austin seems to do nothing but blub but we're hoping he'll keep it together on Saturday or else it will be us who have something to cry about!"
