He’s still reigning supreme at number one, but X Factor winner Leon Jackson isn’t quite as popular as he might think – not only has singer Amy MacDonald blasted him as “lazy” for cancelling his New Year gig due to a bad throat, but now a Glaswegian club owner has accused him of being greedy. The singer was due to perform at Campus in Glasgow – his home town – over Christmas, but owner Carlo Citti cancelled him at the last minute when he found out that Leon wanted £25,000 to sing just three songs. “Leon’s agents have greedy-itis,” fumes Carlo. “It wasn’t just his festive price either. They told me the fee would be the same for other days over coming months. I think it’s ridiculous when I can get David Hasselhoff for £15,000, Peter Andre and Jordan for £3,000, rapper Coolio for £3,000, The MacDonald Brothers for £2,500 and Neighbours’ Dr Karl Kennedy for the same. Only Girls Aloud charge £25,000 for a gig – and there’s five of them!” Whatever, we’ve been distracted by the talk of Dr Karl – now, what household appliances can we sell to get him to perform in our front room?

Another over reaction from Heat World. Amy McDonald has already let her feeling on the X Factor as a whole be known, so she has hardly going to be supportive.
Also, why blame Leon? It isn't him that is saying "give me £25,000" - It's his management who want a bigger share of the money. Plus, I think this more about this man not wanting to pay £25,000 for Leon. Mr Citti, thats the price of talent.
