O'Leary backs The Killers over Leon
Dermot O'Leary has revealed that he would prefer The Killers to get the Christmas number one rather than X Factor winner Leon.

The reality TV show presenter said on his Radio 2 show that he preferred the US rockers' festive track 'Don't Shoot Me Santa' to Leon's Mariah Carey/Whitney Houston cover 'When You Believe'.

The X Factor winner has taken the Christmas number one spot for the last two years, with Shayne Ward in 2005 and Leona Lewis in 2006.

Bookmakers claimed earlier this week that Leon was almost "guaranteed" the number one spot and predicted he would sell nearly 400,000 copies of his track in the first couple of days.
