It goes without saying that we were all very much on the edge of our seats as we watched Rak-Su and Grace Davies battle it out to be crowned winner of The X Factor last weekend. But, while it felt like a pretty level playing field, it turns out the 2017 champions were staring us right in the face the whole time.

The voting stats for this series have finally been revealed, and although we had an idea who was doing it right thanks to the whole Prize Fight element, we now know exactly who came out on top each week!

SPOILER ALERT: Rak-Su done AMAZING!

In week one of the lives, when the boys performed original track 'Mamacita', they received 22.2% of the vote against Grace's 21.9%, though Grace won the Prize Fight against them on the Sunday.

In the second week, Rak-Su received 32.3% of the votes while Grace had an 18.5% share. Week 3 saw Rak-Su manage 25.7%, with Grace getting 20.1%.

Week 4? 36.7% for Rak-Su versus Grace's 26.1%. In week 5, Rak-Su had a 26.1% share with Grace behind them with 17.2%.

Week 6 saw Rak-Su nab themselves 41.7% of the vote, with the boys eventually winning the whole thing last weekend with 51.7%. Not bad going?!

This all comes as the lads admit they were initially warned not to perform original material on the show, with Ashley telling ITV's Lorraine, "The staff were kind of like, 'Okay if that's what you really want to do – it's a risk but fine.

"I think for us, it was a case of we knew who we wanted to be and we knew who we were before going on to the show. Originally, we just saw it as an opportunity to get some good exposure for ourselves. We didn't know it would go this far."

In an X Factor first, Rak-Su released their own original song as their winner's single. Teaming up with both Naughty Boy and Wyclef Jean, the boys performed their track 'Dimelo' to win the public vote.
