Wagner avoided elimination again on Sunday as John was booted off the show, but is again favourite to go this week and on Monday afternoon was a best price 85/40 for the boot with Victor Chandler (£50 free bet).

The Sunday Mirror at the weekend reported that the Brazilian has been warned by the show's welfare officer over his behaviour after a series of incidents backstage and at the finalists' house.

A source told the newspaper: "He makes the girls uncomfortable. He's touchy-feely and likes kissing and cuddling.

"He's turned into a bit of a sex pest. In the house the girls dread him coming in. If he sits at the table and one of the girls is there they make their excuses and leave so they don't have to be near him.

"If he's sitting next to a girl on a sofa he will think nothing of grabbing their legs and grabbing their face or trying to kiss them.

"He says to them, 'You're beautiful, you're gorgeous, you're sexy' and pretends it's all fun, but when he's gone all the girls talk about how much they hate it."

It was also claimed that the singer grabbed a make-up artist by the thigh, while a female researcher working on the show refuses to be in a room alone with him.

Belle Amie (15/8) and Paije (5/1) are already been tipped to leave the show this coming weekend.

Matt is the current favourite to win (7/4 Betfred - £50 free bet) ahead of One Direction (5/2 Victor Chandler) and Rebecca (11/2).
