Leon Jackson is left starstruck by Mika

X Factor winner Leon Jackson has revealed that he was left starstruck when he met Mika recently.

The Scottish singer has just returned to the UK after visiting Dubai to perform at a Sony BMG party.

"It was amazing - the setting was beautiful, and the stage area where I performed was set up like a jazz bar," Leon explained on his online blog.

"Bumped into MIKA!" he continued. "Sat beside him in an airport buggy and he gave me two pieces of blue Extra. Amazing!!"

Leon has also been working hard on his debut album, which is expected to be released later this year. He revealed that he had visited Stockholm to work on tracks for the LP.

The 19-year-old concluded his blog entry by thanking his fans for their continued support: "Just want you all to know that I've not forgotten bout you's. And I appreciate all your support and love you all."
