X Factor Leon's Mum In Plea To Scotland

THE mum of X Factor star Leon Jackson has begged Scotland: "Get behind my boy."

Proud Wendy believes her teenage son can win the ITV show now he's conquered his nerves.

And she is convinced the pint-sized singer can beat the hot favourite Rhydian to clinch the £1million record deal.

She said: "Leon's over the moon he's through to the semi-final and I'm confident he can get to the final.

"I think Rhydian's a bit nervous about how well Leon's doing.

"He's a wee star and as long as Scotland keeps backing him, I think Leon can win the show. It would be the best Christmas present I could ask for."

Leon, of Whitburn, West Lothian, sailed through to the final four on Saturday with his versions of The Long and Winding Road and Crazy Little Thing Called Love

Judge Sharon Osbourne told the 18-year-old: "You've got something Rhydian doesn't - you've got heart."

And even razor-tongued Simon Cowell told him: "I'll see you in the semi-final".

The former Gap worker is now 4-1 second favourite to win the show behind Rhydian at 4-11.

Wendy, 40, said: "I'm so proud of him for chasing his dream and being so close to achieving it.

"Come on Scotland, help him win the show."

Come on leon - leon to win

That would be the worst result if leon won over Rhydian.

I like them both, I think Rhydian has an amazing voice and a huge amount of talent however Leon has come such a long way from the young man we saw shaking with nerves! he could win this if he continues to sing songs that suit his voice and Danni doesnt give him poor song choices.

Yep, I so agree. Like him or not Rydian has more talent then Leon, and can sing better.

I'm sure Leon has fans outside of Scotland as well, why is his mother solely concerned about the votes coming from Scotland?

I hate sweeping statements like "Come on Scotland, get behind Rhydian!"


Could you make us look any more like we hate all things English?

I don't like Leon at all - blatant begging for votes just because I share a nationality with him is retarded logic.
