Bookmakers William Hill has today cut the price of Zayn Malik being named as an X Factor judge from 4/1 to 6/4 as speculation continues.

Meanwhile, his odds of returning to One Direction have also tumbled and it is 3/1 that there is an announcement before the end of the year.

William Hill spokesman Rupert Adams told Crunchsports.com:

“Zayn is the talk of the town and it looks like he will need to make a decision of whether to become an X Factor judge or perhaps return to 1D.”
