Laura White - X factor 2008

Last years X Factor winner, Leon Jackson, has tipped Laura White as the girl to watch on this years series.

“I think she brings something new to the table and her voice is amazing,” he told The Sun.

Leon is also taken with Laura’s mentor, Cheryl Cole, who he describes as ‘stunning.’

“She’s done a great job and takes consideration when judging. She knows what it’s like because she’s been in the same shoes as the contestants,” he said.

Jackson’s new single ‘Don’t Call This Love’ is released on October 13.
