Latest from Matt,I am going off the guy week by week
Cardle - who has previously
expressed his dismay at Carrilho's progress on the show - again questioned the Brazilian's place in the competition as he made his prediction.
Cardle said: "It would be fun to win, I'd like that - but I have a really terrible feeling that bloody Wagner is going to win now. It is a joke."
According to
The Sun, Cardle made the comments at a London record store while promoting the
X Factor finalists' charity single
'Heroes', but was soon instructed by show staff to stop talking.
The 27-year-old had previously
promised that he would "shut the hell up" following a string of comments about Carrilho. Insiders admit that the singer is worried his remarks could have affected his chances.
"Matt thinks he has blown it," a source said. "He was loved by everyone but this spat with Wagner has turned fans against him. He knows he should keep his mouth shut but finds it infuriating that somebody who is tone deaf is still on the show."
