A group of Welsh radio stations have decided to boycott X Factor winner, Leon Jackson’s debut single, over claims of voting problems for their local boy, Rhydian Roberts.

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.

“As a result until justice is done, we’ve decided not to play the winner’s single on our group of stations.”
