Leon Jackson Recovering After Week Off For Wee Cough

X FACTOR winner Leon Jackson has spent the week at home in Whitburn recovering from tonsillitis.

The singer, who claimed the Christmas number one with his debut single, If You Believe, celebrated his 19th birthday on Sunday catching up with old friends in Glasgow's Tiger Tiger nightclub. But after leaving early with a sore throat he was then forced to cancel a planned appearance at Edinburgh's Hogmanay street party, when doctors ordered him to rest up or face losing his voice.

He also cancelled shows in Falkirk and Dunfermline, leading to criticism from members of the public and even fellow singers.

He has spent the last week at home with his mum, and is expected to be back performing within the next few weeks.

A spokesman for Leon said: "He's having a quiet week at home this week to recover."
