Leon\'s mum unhappy with Simon Cowell.
 

Leon Jackson's mother Wendy has hit back at Simon Cowell's criticism of her son's first live X Factor performance.

Wendy was furious when Cowell slated Leon's rendition of 'Can't Buy Me Love' last weekend, and she has now accused the music mogul of scheming to get rid of the competition.

"I was so proud and thought he was great. But I was really unhappy with Simon's comments that Leon didn't deserve his place in the final 12," Wendy told the Daily Star Sunday.

"Maybe it's because he's one of the favourites to win the competition and he's trying to get rid of the strong ones that aren't in his own category."

Asked what she would say to Cowell if they came face-to-face, Wendy joked: "I wouldn't say anything. I'd just punch him in the face."

Taken from DS.

It was just. He didn't deserve a place in the final 12 on that performance so She doesn't have a leg to sand on. If it wasn't for the people of Scotland supporting their local lad he would have been thrown off the show and rightly so.

Defo, he is like the Mc Donalds Brothers, they were terrible.

His mother needs to get her facts right, as he isn't one of the favs to win anyway.

Well of course she's going to think it's great, what kind of mother would say "Oh, my son was terrible tonight". Silly cow :tongue: (her not you haha)

who r the fav to win

nikki must be one of em surely

Niki is fav to win :bigsmile: with Rydian 2nd and Hope 3rd.

After her Performance last night she deserves to be fave to win, though i'd like it if SD were higher up on the odds.

Me too, they bring so much fun to the X Factor, and are way better then Leon and Futureproof.

I think Leon's mum should remove her rose-tinted glasses before watching, perhaps?
