Will there be four wildcards, will there be one, will Gamu be back or will she be gone? There’re lots of question marks over what lies ahead in this year’s X Factor but the biggest question is probably which of the so-called Wild cards will progress the furthest.
Paddy Power are now giving their punters the opportunity to take a ‘wild’ guess on this year’s X Factor and bet on which of this year’s rejects will progress the furthest as wildcards. Cheryl’s Treyc Cohen and Dannii’s Paije Richardson are the 13/8 joint favourites to progress the furthest from the list of potential wildcards.
And eighteen year-old Gamu Nhengu is still listed as a possible wildcard despite reports that she is due to be deported.

We know we’ve already brought you the rumoured final 12 for this year’s X Factor but in case anyone’s interested, here is the final 32 through to judges houses.
These 32 acts have all attended the final audition round of the ITV show and will be seen singing in Australia, England, Spain and Ireland on next week’s show.
In 2010, Dannii Minogue will be mentoring the boys, Cheryl Cole has the girls, Simon Cowell will look after the groups and Louis Walsh has been landed with the older acts.
There is a slight change to the categories this year. As usual we will have our boys, girls, groups and overs – however the age limit for the older group is now over 28, so some singers who would previously have been in that category, have managed to win themselves a place in the much cooler, younger groups.
