We all know who went through each week, but have you ever wondered how close your fave acts were to getting the boot? And can you believe that Rachel 'grab the mic' Adedeji actually got the most votes one week? Read on for the facts...


The voting percentages for this series of The X Factor have been released – and there are a few shockers! The stats show that Joe McElderry won the show outright with an impressive 61.3% of the public votes, compared to Olly Murs' 38.7%. Joe also received the most public votes in week seven, eight, nine and in the first part of the final on Saturday night.


Danyl Johnson came top of the vote in the first week with 27.1%, but only received 6.5% in the second week and 7.6% in week three, when he was in the bottom two with Miss Frank. However, he went on to receive the most votes in weeks four and five. The statistics also reveal that Jedward would have stayed in the competition over Olly if the judges had decided to take it to deadlock. While the cute Irish twins had received 10.7% of the vote, Olly had just 9.8%. Oh how different things could have been! The other contestants who received the most votes were Stacey Solomon, who won the public vote in the second and sixth weeks, and Rachel Adedeji, who won in the third week. Yeah, we know – weird right?
