X Factor hopeful Lucy Spraggan tips Ella Henderson to win talent show
Oct 7th 2012, 14:11

Lucy Spraggan may have impressed The X Factor judges in the first live show of the series, but she believes Ella Henderson will win the competition.

The Sheffield singer-songwriter performed one of her own tracks, Mountains, on Saturday night and won praise from Nicole Scherzinger, Gary Barlow and Tulisa Contostavlos, while Louis Walsh compared her to Victoria Wood and Kate Nash.

That reaction didn't seem to have boosted Lucy's confidence, as during an appearance on The Xtra Factor, she admitted she didn't know whether she could win.

Asked who she thought her biggest rival was, Lucy stared at Ella and said: 'She's one of my favourite people in the world, but she's absolutely fantastic, and I think... she's the winner.'

Viewers had earlier seen Ella perform a stunning version of Take That's Rule The World, which prompted Louis to describe her as 'the best singer we have had on the show since Leona Lewis'.

Gary said: 'There is nothing I hate more that someone singing my song ten times better than me. That was stunning.'

Bookmakers now make Ella the 6/5 favourite to become X Factor champion, while Lucy can be backed at 25/1.
