Ben Haenow Shocked and Surprised To win The X Factor

Ben Haenow did it! The van driver from Croydon won over the nation to be voted this years X Factor winner. The gravelly voiced heartthrob sang his heart out week after week and his efforts paid off. He'd been getting more votes than anyone else for the last seven weeks of the show so for many it was no surprise he was the victor. But the modest star looked shocked and overjoyed as host Dermot O'Leary announced that he was the winner.
