Louisa crowned winner of X Factor

Firm favourite Louisa Johnson was crowned the winner of The X Factor last night as the 12th series of the show came to a stuttering halt, marred by weeks of poor ratings, technical glitches, and presenters’ faux pas.

Mentored by singer Rita Ora, the 17-year-old is the youngest winner of the show to date and her consistent performances week to week ensured she was never in the bottom two.

The winning song, ‘Forever Young’,was perfectly suited to her dulcet tones, while runners-up Reggie ‘N’ Bollie struggled to put their stamp on it after weeks of entertaining the masses with their likeable and unique rapping style.
