Danyl Johnson takes early lead on X Factor

After whipping the audience into a frenzy, receiving a rare standing ovation from the judges and his performance being hailed “the single best first audition” by Simon Cowell, X-Factor hopeful Danyl Johnson already has the bookies running for cover.

Following his jaw-dropping audition on Saturday night’s show Paddy Power have taken the unprecedented step of installing the 27-year-old teacher from Reading as their 5/2 favourite to win this year’s contest.

This is the shortest price that any X-Factor contestant has been at this stage of the competition in the show’s six year history.

Paddy Power said “As soon as Danyl did his stuff on Saturday night we were literally knocked over with requests for betting on the dance teacher to win this year’s competition. Punters who usually…

Bookie Bets On Oasis’s Future

Oasis are 7/4 to officially split up before the end of the year, reports bookie Paddy Power.

With rumours of almost irreconcilable differences between brothers Liam and Noel all summer, the bookie is betting on when the band will next play a gig in the UK together, offering 18/1 before the end of the year and 8/1 for 2010. However fans may have to wait a while for the brothers to settle their differences and Paddy Power make it odds on at 1/2 that Oasis don’t play another gig in the UK before 2013.

Darren Haines, spokesman for Paddy Power, said: “We’re not completely convinced Oasis will ever officially break up as, in their own words, they’re going to Live Forever. But it’s certainly looking like its going…

With the names finally confirmed Paddy Power has installed Martina Hingis as the 7/2 favourite to win this year’s Strictly Come Dancing.The tennis legend, much used to fancy footwork around a court, is expected to have the skills to master being kept on her toes around a dancefloor.The athletes are certainly leading the way with Hingis followed in the betting by Joe Calzaghe at 5/1 and Jade Johnson at 6/1. Soapland’s leading lady is former Hollyoaks star Ali Bastian at 6/1 whilst Oxo mum Lynda Bellingham is the 50/1 outsider. Darren Haines, spokesman for Paddy Power, said: “Hingis has the footwork but Calzaghe is an undefeated champion and could well be the dancer with the most determination to keep his unbeaten record in tact.”Racing legend Richard Dunwoody is 25/1 for a…

Kym Marsh to replace Kerry Katona for Iceland?

Corrie mum Kym Marsh has emerged as the new favourite to takeover from Kerry Katona as the new face of Iceland after the frozen food giant sensationally dropped the mum of four amid cocaine allegations.

Kym, who plays Michelle O’Connor in Coronation Street has moved ahead of Charlotte Church in the betting and is now 5/2 to endorse the supermarket whose slogan is “Mum’s gone to Iceland”.

Where Kerry will end up now is anyone’s guess but bookies Paddy Power are quoting Evs she’ll enter The Priory in 2009, 5/4 she heads to divorce court and 500/1 she becomes the new face of Coke.

Sharon McHugh, spokesperson for Paddy Power, said: “Kym seems to be the favourite with our punters and there are a lot of people…

Paris Jackson – Who’s the Daddy?

THE FRENCH CONNECTION….WHO’S THE DADDY?
-Who will be proved the biological father of Paris Jackson-

With continued uncertainty surrounding the identity of Paris Jackson’s biological father, Paddy Power have reported a significant gamble on Oliver! star Mark Lester which has seen his odds tumble from 12-1 into 6-4 second-favourite.

Lester, who claimed yesterday that Michael Jackson asked him if he would donate sperm during the time the singer was married to Debbie Rowe, is already godfather to Jackson’s three children.

The late King of Pop remains the bookies favourite to be confirmed by means of DNA testing to be Paris’s biological dad but he has drifted in the betting from seemingly certain odds of 1-10 to less likely odds of 1-2.

Other names in the paternity…

X Factor Final – Best Odds

Saturday will see the final of the X Factor, and what a final it’s going to be.  With each of the three acts really deserving their places in the final, and unlike last year, there’s no clear cut winner.  Getting to the final there has been a fair few shock evictions, with viewer apathy leading to the loss of some good singers, but I think the final has the best of the bunch included – is anyone disappointed with the final contestants? Would you have like to have seen someone else in there – tell us by leaving a comment.

We’ve already said there isn’t a clear cut winner in the final group, and this is backed up by the extremely tight odds on offer from the…

When will Gordon go?

The Labour Conference is well underway, anticipated solidarity seems to be coming through. However the rift is still apparent, I guess fueled by media speculation over every little aspect that is coming out of conference.

David Milliband gave his speech, and the media hailed it as his leadership speech, the speech from the next leader, though really it was just his contribution to conference. We’ll see Gordon Brown stand at the box later in the conference, and it will be this speech which will be the true leadership speech, getting the Labour Party back on track with it’s members supporting their leader.

However with the possibility of the next General Election being an overwhelming defeat for the Labour Party, ministers and MPs are beginning to feel that their…
