X Factor - WENN Leak 10 Of The Final 12 By Mistake;

W*E*N*N - The grandly titled London based "World Entertainment News Network" appear to have inadvertantly today leaked most of X-Factor's final 12 contestants - those who will be competing in the live shows.

Specialbets.com understands that W*E*N*N affiliated photographers were selected by X-Factor producers to take publicity photos of the final 12 contestants leaving the house they are staying in for the duration of the show with their faces covered. The "leak" arose when on posting those pictures to their media-facing picture sales site, W*E*N*N published the full names of the disguised final 12 - oops!

One name didn't need leaking....

So apart from Kerry, who made the final cut?

Ashley and Nikitta were the only pictures that WENN labelled for us, so that leaves the following list from Simon's final 8 in the balance - Ray Quinn, Shaun Rogerson, Stacey Barnes, Carlo Muscatelli, Gemma Sampson and Leona Lewis.

Carlo and Stacey (below) have had very little exposure on the highlights shows - so we suspect that means they didn't make it - (also Stacey has a 6 year old's hairstyle and projectile ears which can't have helped..)

- which left Simon with a really tough choice between the super nervous Shaun, semi-pro Leona, the lovely voiced Gemma and cheeky actor chappie Ray... watch this space as the information becomes clear later in the week.



Notably, the favourite of some tipsters from Sharon's group Jonathan seems to have not made it through...

That's all for now. Check out the list of X-Factor Specials and markets here;
