Leon Jackson's love for Cheryl Cole
Friday, 22nd August 2008
Last year's X Factor champ Leon Jackson is gripped with the new series and reckons Cheryl Cole is perfect for the show.
The Scottish singer was mentored by Dannii Minogue last year and ran out the eventual winner.
He beat hot the favourite to win the show - Welsh tenor Rhydian Roberts - in the final.
Leon said: "I can't believe X Factor is back - this time last year I was in bootcamp.
I feel so nervous for everyone. I know what they must be going through and it's scary but exciting.
I wanna watch a few more episodes before I talk about it - I'm hooked now it is back on.
"I love Cheryl, she is so funny and genuine and, of course, stunning.
"I think she'll make a great mentor too. I really liked Sharon, too - they are so different you can't compare them."
Cheryl took over from Sharon Osbourne on the judging panel after she left following a never-ending series of rows with Dannii Minogue and Simon Cowell.
