X Factor judge Louis Walsh has admitted that Olly Murs is his second favourite contestant left on the show.

Louis has previously revealed that he was backing Joe McElderry to win this weekend. He also said that he thinks Olly is consistently good and compared him to Robbie Williams and Gary Barlow.

Louis told The Mirror:

“He’s the boy next door. Robbie Williams meets Gary Barlow meets Will Young. He’s my second favourite. I did pick him as my tip to win at the beginning of the live shows, but he hasn’t improved as much as Joe. Olly loves dancing though – his moves are certainly his own. He’s always good, every week. But I’m not sure I can see him taking the prize.”
