Louisa Johnson was the winner of this year's X Factor final.
The 17-year-old Essex singer was crowned the champion on Sunday (December 13) and beat Afrobeat artists Reggie N Bollie and Che Chesterton with a stunning cover of Bob Dylan's 'Forever Young'.
After Olly Murs made the announcement, Johnson burst into tears and said: "I've imagined this day for so many years, you really have no idea how much this means to me."

After being made on the X Factor in 2010, the boyband announced that they would taking a hiatus in 2016. Upon the announcement, Liam Payne spoke to the magazine Attitude: "I realise now this is the time to start branching out and exploring. This won’t last forever, and there will be a point when we will break off and do our own things, but… we will work together again."
He continued, "A lot of people say to me, ‘Oh, you’ll go solo,’ but I haven’t thought about that. If the right song comes along and I think I should sing it, then I will release it as a solo artist. Otherwise, I’m happy being behind the scenes. When the others boys [in the group] go solo, I would love to write songs for them. I want to make great music that people want to listen to."
