'X Factor' Lucy Spraggan: 'I think Ella Henderson's the winner'

The X Factor's Lucy Spraggan has said that she thinks Ella Henderson will win the competition.

The singer-songwriter was asked on The Xtra Factor whether she thought she herself could win, to which she simply replied: "I don't know."



However, when asked who her biggest rival was, she jokingly turned and fixed her stare on Henderson.

Laughing and hugging her fellow Girls team member, she then added: "Honestly, she's one of my favourite people in the world, though, but she's absolutely fantastic, and I think... she's the winner."

Earlier in the evening, Spraggan had been allowed to perform one of her own songs on the first live show.

It was the second time that a contestant had sung a non-cover on The X Factor, after Chico performed 'It's Chico Time' in series two, but it was the first entirely self-written song on the show.

Henderson had sung Take That's 'Rule the World' to huge praise from the judges.
