X Factor stars: What happened next?
Leon Jackson

The Scottish-born singer won the X Factor in 2007 putting his name to the show's Christmas single 'When you Believe' – which naturally went straight to No 1.

Where is he now? Unfortunately for this former champion, things were not as successful as time went by. Leon was dropped by his record label, Sony BMG, following poor ticket sales for his concerts. By the time his third single was released the public had completely lost interest, with the unmemorable track only reaching No 94 in the charts.
