One Direction have revealed who they want to win this year's X Factor.

The TV talent show is currently in full swing as a number of wannabe stars battle it out.

Speaking to This Morning, boyband One Direction - who formed on the X Factor in 2010 - revealed that they are in the Lauren Platt camp.

Niall Horan said: "I think Andrea is going to win it...but my favourite is Lauren, I really like her - she is really sweet."

Louis Tomlinson added: "Yeah, I'd like to see Lauren win it...but there are great contestants this year."

Platt is currently second favourite with bookmaker William Hill to win.

Her odds of 3/1, however, are topped by Andrea Faustini, whose price is 6/4.
