Runner-up Marcus Collins showed nothing but love and support for the girls, saying that he was really proud of himself. He went on to say that he felt the girls were amazing and hardworking performers who deserved the win. The performer also thanked his fans for their continued support.

This season’s run of ‘X Factor’ proved to be a trying one with Gary Barlow, Tulisa Contostavlos, Kelly Rowland, and Louis Walsh serving as the panel judges. Gary became known for his snap judgements while Tulisa and Kelly were often squabbling over how each of the women addressed the series’ contestants.
