'X Factor' hopeful strains vocal cords

[Arneldo]

X Factor hopeful Leon Jackson was forced to see a throat specialist last night after straining his vocal cords.

The 18-year-old impressed judges in last week's big band show, but has struggled with his song choice this time around.

He was prescribed antibiotics after visiting London's Cromwell Hospital and is under strict instructions to rest his voice whenever he can.

Leon, who has battled nerves throughout the competition, is hoping to wow viewers with Toploader's 'Dancing In The Moonlight' tomorrow night.

The X Factor continues on Saturday at 6.45pm on ITV1.
