The X Factor Voting Figures Have Been Revealed Proving It Was Closer Than You Might Think

How close actually was Honey G to taking home that X Factor crown?
Whether it was Honey G staying in the competition week after week, Emily and Ryan's budding relationship or how amazing Matt Terry's voice was - this year's X Factor series was one of the most talked about of all time.
As we now all know, Matt Terry was crowned the winner of the show, beating Saara Aalto in the final, but now that the official voting stats have been released, we can see that those two weren't necessarily always destined for the final!

From the very beginning, Bratavio were clear favourites to go, but from then on the votes were very close.
Claims that Honey G was actually topping the list were clearly way off the mark and the voting public clearly took some time to warm to eventual runner up Saara Aalto!
Emily Middlemas was a fan favourite from the very start and it seems she was pretty unlucky not to make the final three, whilst Matt Terry was actually in second place before he managed to turn things around and pip Saara to the title.
Check out the full voting stats from every single week below and see how close it really was!
