Rhydian: 'I don't like Leon's single'
X Factor runner-up Rhydian Roberts has revealed that he is not a fan of Leon Jackson's No 1 Christmas single 'When You Believe'.

The opera singer said he was not keen on his own or Jackson's version of the winner's record and had not splashed out on a copy for himself.

He said: "I don't particularly like [it]. But I didn't like my version either. I'm glad I didn't win and release the song as my rendition would have got slated."

However, Roberts has managed to persuade five Welsh radio stations to lift a ban on Leon's debut track imposed after the shock result.

He told The Mirror: "Leon and me get on relatively well. I was gutted I didn't win but it could not have happened to a nicer guy."
