Hackney-girl-done-good Leona won the X Factor in 2006 and from the first warbles of her subsequent Christmas number one, A Moment Like This, you can hear the connection with Whitney Houston, Mariah Carey and tonnes of money. Unlike other X-Factor winners (anyone remember Steve Brookstein?), she has gone on to have further hits and quality Bleeding Love went to number one in 30 countries, including the US. Her only problem being that she is devoid of a personality. In 2009 she was punched at a book signing which, apart from winning the X Factor and selling a few million records, is the only thing of interest that has ever happened to her.
