Earlier this week The Sun claimed that John and Edward Grimes topped the public vote on last weekends X Factor. However insiders have reportedly informed the Daily Star, that Rachel Adedeji was actually the true winner.

The report also claims the twins have been in the bottom four every week so far and only escaped the bottom two by 0.5% on Sunday night.

“This is going to blow the whole competition wide open now,” said a source. “People were actually starting to believe that the twins were going to win. But now it seems their days are well and truly numbered. They could even be out this week. And Rachel, who no-one fancies, has been piling up the votes this last week.”

Danyl Johnson and Lloyd Daniels were said to be the most popular singers during the first two weeks.
