It looks like Leon’s management have gotten to Emily Biggs from rival band Hope. She has now denied that there was ever any romance between her and the X factor winner. She told The Sun:
“There’s no romance but I’m pleased he won. He wanted to do it for his Mum. We spoke yesterday and he’s over the moon.”
If there never was any romance, then why have the pair only decided to deny it now? It all seems a bit fishy to me!
It looks like a certainty. Another Christmas, another X Factor number one!
Leon Jackson is so far ahead in the mid week chart with his Debut Single, ‘When You Believe’ that the only song with a chance of beating him is The Pogues ‘Fairytale In New York’.
So come on people, you know you love that traditional Christmas jingle…..offensive lyrics and all!
As the number of complaints flooding into OFCOM grows higher and higher, the mother of X factor finalist Rhydian Roberts has asked fans to move on.
Angela Roberts, 56, said the family now wants to put the incident behind them, telling the South Wales Echo: “We are just asking the nation to let it go and move on. The competition is overstaying.”
She added: “We give our very best to Leon as a family and look forward to Rhydian’s own career developing as it should.”
She might have a point. It’s not like ITV are going to strip Leon of his title anyway!
X factor winner Leon Jackson is almost ready to release his debut single, When You Believe, and for those who just can’t wait to get a copy, you can get a glimpse of Mr Jackson’s first ever music video here.
Have to say I found it all a bit under whelming really!

ITV have released a statement saying that there were “no irregularities” in the X Factor voting system on Saturday night.
Although OFCOM have received more than one thousand complaints from Rhydian fans claiming that they couldn’t get through when they tried to vote on Saturday night, ITV have stated:
“We know there are many Rhydian fans who are disappointed that he did not win, but the simple fact is that Leon won The X Factor fair and square.” They added that in the end Leon won “by a full 10% of the vote”. Read more & comment »
Wouldn’t you think that all X Factor staff would be under contract to publicly support the TV show, and all who came from it?
Well obviously not, as X factor presenter Dermot O’Leary stated on his Radio Two show today that he preferred Christmas song, ‘Don’t Shoot Me Santa’ to Leon Jackson’s ‘When You Believe’.
Media watchdog, OFCOM have revealed that they will be carrying out an investigation into Saturday’s X Factor result after receiving several hundred complaints.
Many Rhydian fans claimed that they couldn’t get through on phone lines while trying to vote for him, yet people were able to vote for Leon over and over again. I know, my elderly aunt voted for him 27 times!
X Factor fan Sylvia Wardley told The Sun: ‘Between six of us we tried to vote for Rhydian 55 times, but only got through twice. We tried Leon and got through straight away.”
Rhydian’s father Malcolm, 60, said: “Rhyd’s not a bad loser, but he feels the same as us about the result - and we think it’s fix. He believes it’s possible he was stitched up. He’s disappointed for himself and his fans.”

Dannii Minogue has ended up in Louis Walsh’s bad books yet again, after she snubbed his generous Christmas present.
An X Factor source told The Mirror: “Louis went to great lengths buying presents for his fellow judges. When he knocked on Dannii’s dressing room door, she barely opened it, stuck her arm out, took the present and shut the door again. Louis was staggered.”
Maybe he should have been nicer to her throughout the show and she might have had a bit more time for him!
Swansea Bay Radio, Bridge FM, Radio Pembrokeshire, Radio Carmarthenshire and Scarlet FM - all owned by Town and Country Broadcasting have refused to play the song as they believe that many of Rhydian’s supporters were unable to register their phone votes on Saturday night, resulting in him losing the show.
“Our radio station presenters have been inundated with calls suggesting that during Saturday’s X Factor their votes for Welsh favourite Rhydian, supported by local Neath diva Katherine Jenkins, were not able to be counted as lines were jammed,” programme manager Gareth Davies told Radiotoday.co.uk.
