Leon Jackson is being touted as the next Robbie Williams, according to pop mogul Simon Cowell.
Jackson has been fairly quiet since winning last year's X Factor, but will finally be releasing his debut album 'Right Now' on October 20th - featuring new single 'Don't Call This Love'.
Speaking to the Daily Star, Leon says: "Simon [Cowell] is over the moon with my new album and has been saying I'm a cross between Michael Bublé and Robbie Williams. I'm like: 'Calm down, Simon'."
The singer also explained why he has taken so long to release his first album: "Leona Lewis is a prime example of what happens if you dedicate time and care and don't rush."
"It's possible to rival the top people if you get it right and that's what I want to do."
