The Jamaican singer mentored by Louis Tomlinson beat Scarlett Lee and Anthony Russell in the ITV final
Dalton Harris has been declared the winner of The X Factor 2018.
The 24-year-old Jamaican – who was mentored by first-time judge Louis Tomlinson – won the contest without appearing in a single sing-off.

Dalton was hot favourite to the win the contest, with a RadioTimes.com poll of over 13,000 votes suggesting 62.34% of viewers backed the singer to win. Scarlett and Anthony split the remaining vote, on 20.62% and 17.04% respectively.
