We know it only seems like the other day that Ben Haenow pulled off that shock victory in The X Factor, but already the show is drumming up talent for the next series.

And Mr Haenow reckons you ought to get your ass along and give it a go when the auditions arrive in nine major cities - and many more smaller towns.

He said: "Winning the show has completely changed my life. I wouldn't be doing what I love now if it wasn't for The X Factor. I had the most incredible experience and now I am living out my dream, recording music, having a No 1 single and touring the country.

"It's unbelievable. I just cannot wait for the year ahead."

The 30-year-old said he had previously put off taking part in the show.

"I'm not sure why I had never applied for The X Factor before but this year I thought 'why not'?

"It turned out to be the best decision I've ever made.

"If you believe in yourself, then I would tell everyone to apply for The X Factor. As everybody knows, I was just an ordinary guy who got a break, and I will be forever grateful for this opportunity."
