So, ever the diligent reporter, I watched the last ten minutes of X Factor on Saturday night just so I could let you know who won. Fortunately there were four young children running rampant in the room at the same time, so I was sufficiently distracted to really notice Kate Thornton doing her presenting bit which, as we've explained before, is the reason no one at CMU can normally watch X Factor for more than five minutes. But, despite the flying furniture, I wasn't too distracted to notice that bookies favourite Leona Lewis was the overall winner, which was good news for said bookies, who stood to lose out big time if fellow finalist Ray Quinn, previously an outsider to even get that far, had be crowned overall winner. I'm also pretty sure I heard Simon Cowell say after Leona's victory that he was the "most proudest" he'd ever been, which makes you wonder how well he'd do at the karaoke. Leona's debut single is now in manufacture ready for a Wednesday release and a late entry into the race for Christmas number one.
