Alityan Childs wins The X Factor contest!
Alityan Childs has won The X Factor contest, after beating 20-year-old Sally Chatfield and 18-year-old Andrew Lawson. Ronan Keating had this to say about the 35 year old Fork-lift driver:
"If we go back to the auditions, forgetting the words on the elimination night in the first week, there were boos in the audience. The way he has grown, the journey he has had, his delivery, his belief, his confidence, his ability ... he just ticks all the boxes. He's a real star," he said. "The world needs to get ready for Altiyan Childs. It's going to be unbelievable."
Childs was almost lost for words after winning the competition. "Australia, thanks for stealing my heart away," he said. "I just want to say to my father, we did it!"
Childs wins a recording contract with Sony, which releases he debut song "Somewhere in the World."
