Leon Jackson wins Factor crown · 2007-12-17 17:31
Scottish crooner Leon Jackson has won the fourth series of ITV talent search the X Factor.
"It's not real," said the stunned 18-year-old as he took the prize of a ??1 million recording contract. "Thank you for everybody who voted."
Second place went to Welsh tenor Rhydian Roberts, while sibling act Same Difference came third, BBC informs.
More than 12 million people tuned in to see Leon take the reality show title, initial overnight figures suggest.
Leon's single ??“ a rewritten version of Mariah Carey and Whitney Houston's When You Believe ??“ is out on Monday.
It is likely to take the coveted Christmas number one spot, following in the footsteps of the last two X Factor winners, Shayne Ward and Leona Lewis.
