US rapper Eminem is being hotly tipped to become a judge on the next series of X Factor.

Bookies Paddy Power are betting 8/1 that the Slim Shady star will become a new addition to Cowell’s X Factor panel and it’s down under diva Dannii Minogue that could receive her marching orders to make way for the hip hop artist.

Dannii Minogue is the 4/6 favourite to quit or be axed from the X Factor panel, followed by Irish music mogul Louis Walsh at 7/4 and Mr Nasty himself Simon Cowell at 6/1. Golden girl Cheryl Cole looks a safe bet at 10/1 to stay on as mentor for some time to come.

Another name in the running to join Cowell and co on the X Factor panel is superstar Robbie Williams at 10/1 while it’s 12/1 Sharon Osbourne makes a welcome return.

Sharon McHugh, spokesperson for Paddy Power said: “X Factor is already well received globally after producing top talent like Leona Lewis but with world class rapper Eminem on the panel, the show could reach a whole new level.”

Who will join the X Factor judging panel? 8/1 Eminem 10/1 Robbie Williams 10/1 Lily Allen 12/1 Sharon Osbourne 12/1 Will Young 12/1 Paula Abdul 14/1 Mel B 14/1 Gary Barlow 14/1 Victoria Beckham 16/1 Piers Morgan 16/1 Charlotte Church 18/1 LuLu 18/1 Kelly Rowland 18/1 Emma Bunton 20/1 Myleene Klass 20/1 Geri Halliwell 20/1 Sarah Brightman 20/1 Madonna 20/1 Randy Jackson 20/1 Ronan Keating 25/1 Amy Winehouse 25/1 Duffy 25/1 Nadine Coyle 25/1 Kelly Osbourne 25/1 Simon Fuller 33/1 Kelly Brook 33/1 Samantha Mumba 33/1 Sarah Harding 40/1 Kelly Clarkson 50/1 Delta Goodrem 50/1 Sinitta 50/1 Estelle 50/1 Susan Shaw 66/1 Britney Spears 66/1 Nikki Chapman 80/1 Pete Waterman 80/1 Brian McFadden 80/1 KT Tunstall 80/1 Kylie 100/1 Susan Boyle 150/1 Jedward 150/1 Kerry Katona

Next Judge to go 4/6 Danni 7/4 Louis 6/1 Simon 10/1 Cheryl

 

 

They might have got the boot from this year’s X Factor but we’ve not seen the last of terrible twosome John and Edward. The Irish twins are hotly tipped to replace Katie Price on this year’s series of I’m A Celebrity and bookies Paddy Power have already chalked them up at 8/1 to be crowned Kings of the jungle.

 

Ever since Jordan left the jungle, show producers have apparently been under massive pressure to replace her with a suitable celebrity to help liven up the show and keep viewing figures at a premium. The lads have allegedly received an offer of £100,000 to appear on the hit reality show and it’s thought they have until 5.30pm today to make a decision.

Rumours circulating the internet are suggesting the deal is close to completion and has sent punters into a betting frenzy. Only yesterday Paddy Power had been offering generous odds of 50/1 on Jedward entering the jungle!

Sharon McHugh, spokesperson for Paddy Power, said: “Jedward weren’t even on our radar to enter the jungle as we were convinced Simon Cowell would have the lads under a strict contract but as the saying goes there’s usually no smoke without fire – landing Jedward would be a massive coup for the popular show and viewing figures would surely go through the roof!”

Other names being bandied about to replace glamour model Katie include her ex-husband Peter Andre at 3/1, Kerry Katona at 6/1 and tattooed glamour model Jodie Marsh at 8/1.

The Lucan twins have been racked with guilt since last weeks show which saw Lucie Jones exit the competition in spectacular and controversial circumstances. The public backlash has made the boys very nervous and some punters are now betting that the lads will succumb to the pressure and bow out of the competition of their own accord.

The twins odds have drifted to 16/1 from an all time low of 6/1 but bookies Paddy Power are still adamant the twins have what it takes to hang on in there.

Sharon McHugh, spokesperson for Paddy Power said: “The public backlash has no doubt unsettled the lads but at the end of the day they deserve to be in the competition and we hope they don’t throw in the towel. With a bit of luck last week’s close shave could spur people to pick up the phone and vote to keep them in!”

Irish X-Factor twins John and Edward will be thanking their lucky stars tonight after surviving elimination courtesy of an unlikely helping hand by judge Simon Cowell.

“Jedward” were Paddy Power’s second favourites for eviction this week behind Lloyd Daniels but both acts, against the odds, have progressed through to next week.

25-year old Olly Murs remains the bookies red hot favourite at odds of 9/4 to win this years competition followed by Joe McElderry at 5/2. John and Edward have drifted in the odds from 6/1 to 10/1.

Paddy Power said “Talk about the luck of the Irish but if our betting is anything to go by it looks like storm clouds may be gathering for the terrible twins”
