Xtra Factor host Rylan Clark backs Honey G to win X Factor as he refuses to dismiss joke act
Singer turned presenter also thinks Four of Diamonds return could be a good thing for the show

RYLAN Clark has refused to write off The X Factor's Honey G - insisting the rapper could win.
The Xtra Factor presenter knows what its like to perform on the ITV show, having made it to the live shows back in 2012.
Like Honey G, his inclusion in the latter stages of the contest was heavily criticised, with both stars being seen as 'joke acts' in their respective series', but Rylan believes the female rapper could be the dark horse of the competition.
Speaking to The Sun Online, he said: "Of course Honey G could win, of course she could. I lasted eight weeks how the f*** did that happen?
"Any of them could win, look at the bottom two this weekend where we had Batavia and Saara.
"Anything can happen in this show, I've come from personal experience."
Indeed the first weekend of live shows was certainly full of drama, after duo Brooks Way was removed from the contest amid accusations twin Josh Brooks had hit an ex-girlfriend.

Girl group Four of Diamonds were subsequently announced as the brothers' replacement, having originally been shown the door by mentor Louis Walsh at Judge's Houses.
Speaking about the furore, Rylan said: "I don't really know the ins and outs with the boys and I don't know the story so I'm not going to comment on that, but all I can say on a personal level is obviously we will miss them as part of the show.
"They were really nice guys and we got on well but really looking forward to having the girls back."
Four of Diamonds will join the remaining act in the groups category, 5 After Midnight, on this weekend's round of live shows, and Rylan thinks despite their late addition to the line up, they could make a real impact.
He said: "I personally think that it could do them the world of good because we haven't got a girl band this year.
"I think it's one of the only years we haven't had any girls in the groups category so it's really, really nice to have them.
"I think they are going to bring something totally different to the show which we haven't already got which is nice."
