Andy Abraham wants a woman to win the X Factor.

Andy, a finalist in last years show, thinks it’s about time a female talent was recognised by the public.

He told BANG Showbiz: “If I were to pick a woman to win the ‘X Factor’ I would choose Leona, and if it was going to be a man I would pick Ben.

“But I think it is time for a woman to win the ‘X Factor’.”

Andy is convinced that he was lucky to get to the final of the show because the female acts were stronger than the men last year.

Andy, who is preparing to release his second album ‘Soul Man’ this month, said: “I actually thought that a woman would win last year’s show. I thought it would be Maria or Brenda.”
