Janet Topped 'X Factor' Vote The Most Times

X Factor Public Vote Percentages Revealed

She was tipped as a potential winner way back in the audition stages of this year's X Factor, but it is only now that the strength of early support for Janet Devlin has been revealed.

The 17-year-old from County Tyrone topped the voting for the first FOUR WEEKS that the public were allowed to have their say, only slipping to second spot the following week on Amelia Lily's triumphant return.

Unfortunately her fall from grace was then quite rapid, and she was sent home by the judges two weeks later when she found herself in the sing-off with Misha B - having forgotten her words the previous night.

Interestingly, the voting figures also reveal that only three acts took the top spot in the voting over the entire series.

Janet was up there for four weeks, Amelia Lily for two and Little Mix for three - including the last week when it counted most.

Although runner-up Marcus Collins never topped the voting, he did have the most second places - being number two for three weeks.
