Last years X Factor winner, Leon Jackson has revealed how his life has been turned on its head since winning the show last year.

Leon is quoted by MSN as saying: “My life’s just turned upside down. I’m experiencing things and meeting people I’d have never ever got to have experienced if it wasn’t for The X Factor.

“I got to perform live with my hero Michael Buble once again in July in front of a whole crowd in Glasgow which was fantastic.

“I was at the Pride Of Britain Awards recently which was amazing and I got to meet the likes of Ronnie Corbett and Bruce Forsyth and absolute legends, it’s been great.”

He went on: “I moved down to London permanently in April. So that was lovely, coming to London and experiencing London life straight away. It’s a lot different to what I’m used to, living in a small miners town, you know.”
