Leon Jackson has claimed that Simon Cowell is tipping him to be the next Robbie Williams.
The X Factor winner releases his new single 'Don't Call This Love' and debut album Right Now next month following a break from the spotlight.
Jackson told the Daily Star: "Simon is over the moon with my new album and has been saying I'm a cross between Michael Bublé and Robbie Williams. I'm like: 'Calm down, Simon'."
Rather than rushing out an album after winning X Factor last year, Jackson took a similar approach to Leona Lewis by putting in months of work with top producers.
"Leona Lewis is a prime example of what happens if you dedicate time and care and don't rush," Leon explained. "It's possible to rival the top people if you get it right and that's what I want to do."
Jackson will perform 'Don't Call This Love' on the first X Factor live show on October 11.
