WINNER!

Hat-wearing Matt struck the hearts of the judges with his beautiful voice.

Bookies favourite, he was the most popular contestant with the public almost every week, receiving the majority of telephone votes.

Matt was up against Rebecca in the final but won over the public yet again.

His single, a cover of Biffy Clyro's Many of Honor, When We Collide, is out now and will be a serious contender for Christmas Number one.
