It’s being called the worst series of ITV’s the X Factor ever, but Louisa Johnson, 17, won’t care. Johnson, from Essex, has been crowned the youngest ever winner of the ITV show. Mentored by new judge Rita Ora, Johnson was the bookies favourite to win and delivered the goods on Sunday night.

X Factor is in the midst of a change-up after dismal ratings, with producers believed to be considering cast and host changes for the next series.

Johnson is believed to be dating West Ham United footballer Reece Oxford.
