X Factor Voting Stats Reveal Ben Was Ahead For Weeks!

Ben Haenow's victory on The X Factor knocked a lot of peoples' socks off last night - but it won't have come as a surprise to the show's voting staff.

As is traditional, the full series voting stats have been revealed in the wake of last night's grand finale - and it has emerged that winner Ben had been on top all the way from week four.

The revelation is a testament to the ability of show bosses to keep things under wraps when they need to, because Fleur East had become the hot favourite to win last night's final - with one punter reportedly staking £20,000 on her.

But the Walthamstow wonder had only managed to place second in the voting on three occasions prior to the weekend.

Croydon truck driver Ben took a whopping 57.2 per cent of the votes on the final weekend - with Fleur nabbing 34.3 per cent and Andrea Faustini 8.5 per cent.

Andrea had been the firm favourite up to week three, and in fact only he and Ben have topped the public vote throughout the series.

Anyway that's enough from us, we know it's the stats that you really want...
