JLS have bagged themselves a clear advantage on this weekend's X Factor final by landing Rihanna for their celebrity duet.

The foursome, who trail Alexandra Burke as second favourites, will no doubt be over the moon to hear they'll be singing with the R'n'B sensation, while the other two acts get stuck with Louis Walsh's out-of-date boy bands, Boyzone and Westlife.

'They are thrilled to be working with Rihanna,' an insider reveals. 'It is a massive coup. She has an incredibly wide fanbase, which is bound to help pull votes.

'The feeling is that Rihanna’s backing is the clincher.

'Even Simon Cowell has admitted they could win. He views them as an increasingly profitable asset.'

Since the news was leaked, bookies have cut the odds of JLS winning down to 7-2. However, Alex, who has been teamed with Westlife, still has the edge at 8-13, while Eoghan, who will sing with Boyzone, is the outsider at 4-1.

Who do you want to win? Let us know on the form below…

Eoghan is by far at the biggest disadvantage...
I don't think its really fair if the likes of Beyonce is performing with Alex seen as though she will be in Britain at the time! Then Eoghan will definitely be stuck with third place unfortunately...... just need to double my votes ;)
Nice one Simon!!!

Alexandra Burke has the XFACTOR. She can sing , she can dance, she looks like a pop star and she is the best! Alexandra is my Xfactor winner!

Nothing against Alex, but I think JLS have genuine and down to earth personalities, unlike Alex. they also have great vocals and give great performances. as for Eoghan, as much as I like him, I don't even think he deserves to win because the others have been so strong from the start.
