X Factor Voting Stats Reveal Ben Was Ahead For Weeks!
Talent show winner had dominated voting since week four...
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.

And I can't sweep you off of your feet
Will your mouth still remember the taste of my love?
Will your eyes still smile from your cheeks?
And, darling, I will be loving you till we're 70
And, baby, my heart could still fall as hard at 23
And I'm thinking 'bout how people fall in love in mysterious ways
Maybe just the touch of a hand
Well, me, I fall in love with you every single day
And I just wanna tell you I am
So, honey, now
Take me into your loving arms
Kiss me under the light of a thousand stars
Place your head on my beating heart
I'm thinking out loud
Maybe we found love right where we are
When my hair's all but gone, and my memory fades
And the crowds don't remember my name
When my hands don't play the strings the same way
I know you will still love me the same
'Cause, honey, your soul could never grow old, it's evergreen
And, baby, your smile's forever in my mind and memory
I'm thinking 'bout how people fall in love in mysterious ways
And maybe it's all part of a plan
Well, I'll just keep on making the same mistakes
Hoping that you'll understand
That, baby, now
Take me into your loving arms
Kiss me under the light of a thousand stars
Place your head on my beating heart
I'm thinking out loud
And maybe we found love right where we are
La la la, la la la, la la la, la la la loud
So, baby, now
Take me into your loving arms
Kiss me under the light of a thousand stars
Oh, darling, place your head on my beating heart
I'm thinking out loud
Then maybe we found love right where we are
Oh, baby, we found love right where we are
And we found love right where we are
