There was yet another X Factor fix story in The People today, when a claim was made that Leona was allowed three times more studio time to record the winners single than other contestants.

A source claimed that while Ben was only allowed one four hour visit, Leona made a number of visits and spent a total of 10 hours perfecting her version.

The source told The People: “Each contestant should have been given the same amount of time but clearly they haven’t. Despite getting it right the first time, Ben would have loved to come back to perfect it even more.”
