VIDEO: X-Factor Leon won 'fair and square'
8:32am Wednesday 19th December 2007
Leon Jackson won the X Factor "fair and square", said ITV as the number of complaints shot up to more than 1,500.
Fans of runner-up Rhydian Roberts have accused TV bosses of fixing the result after finding phone lines jammed during Saturday night's show.
The Welsh singer had been the favourite throughout the series but lost out in the final after a last-gasp surge of votes for Leon.
The broadcaster said in a statement: "We know there are many Rhydian fans who are disappointed that he did not win, but the simple fact is that Leon won the X Factor fair and square."
