Simon Cowell is said to be tipping last years X Factor winner, Leon Jackson as the new Robbie Williams. I can’t see it myself!

Leon, 19, told The Daily Star: “Simon is over the moon with my new album and has been saying I’m a cross between Michael Buble and Robbie Williams. I’m like: ‘Calm down, Simon’.

“I didn’t worry that I didn’t capitalise on the success of the show by getting an album out straight away. I didn’t want to rush out a collection of covers.

“Leona Lewis is a prime example of what happens if you dedicate time and care and don’t rush. It’s possible to rival the top people if you get it right and that’s what I want to do.”
