X Factor judge and mentor, Louis Walsh, reckons this year’s X-Factor is already a two-horse race.

Louis thinks the final competition will be between his group Eton Road and Sharon Osbournes act Ben Mills.

He told The People: “It’s early days but at this stage it’s a two horse race. They’ll be going all the way. It’s a tough call to say who will win.”

Louis also predicted Simon Cowell’s star, Ashley McKenzie, 20, would be third.
