X Factor stats show Ben was favourite from week four

X Factor statistics show that winner, Ben Haenow, was getting the biggest number of public votes from week four.

Basically, he had it in the bag.

The figures released by ITV suggest that in the first three weeks it was Italian singer, Andrea Faustini, who was getting the most support.

But that all changed in week four when Ben sang AC/DC's Highway to Hell and Andrea belted out Somebody to Love by Queen.

He lost out with 8.5% of the vote in the final

At first Andrea was averaging around 15% of the vote, while Ben was as low as fourth place at times.

But that was soon to change. In week four the van driver from Croydon claimed top spot - with 12.2% of votes - and never looked back.

As more contestants were kicked off the show, the 29-year-old kept claiming a greater share of the vote as Andrea fell down the rankings.

In the final Ben claimed the X Factor crown with a whopping 57.2 % of the vote, while Andrea came third with just 8.5%.

Fleur East finished runner up in the final with 34.3% of the vote

The double eviction in the first week saw groups Blonde Electra and Overload Generation leave first after receiving less than four percent of the vote between them.

Last year's winner Sam Bailey enjoyed the same amount of popularity as Ben Haenow this year by claiming most of the votes in eight out of 11 live performances.

What most of this year's crop will be hoping is that the amount of votes they got will be matched by record sales, unless you're Blonde Electra of course.
