What the expert says...
Olivia Dean is second favourite for the massive television spot at 4/1
Olivia Dean fits in perfectly for the John Lewis advert with young up and coming artists been used in the past for cover songs.
24-year-old Dean grew up in London and attended the infamous BRIT School and it would be no surprise to see her used in one of these famous adverts.
The betting odds say that there's a 20% chance of Dean being used for the advert that has is a massive spot in British television every year.

Noddy Holder big outsider at 50/1 with Slade's Merry Xmas Everybody a huge Christmas song
Noddy Holder is the big outsider to be the John Lewis advert star this year with the singer playing a massive part in the UK's festive period every year.
His band Slade released the song Merry Xmas Everybody back in 1973 and since then it has been on Christmas playlists around the world.
Bookies have Holder as the 50/1 outsider to star in the John Lewis advert this year and they may decide to use an older musician like they did with Elton John in 2018.
Those odds suggest that there's a 2% chance of Holder being the singer in the advert with other outsiders including Sir Cliff Richard and Ozzy Osbourne.
