Leon Jackson's resolution no

Leon Jackson does not make New Year's resolutions - because he never sticks to them.

'The X Factor' winner - who shot to fame after the 2007 series of the UK reality TV show - admits he can't break his bad habits for very long.

He told BANG Showbiz: "I've never really made New Year's resolutions - because a few days into January they are always out the window anyway."

The 19-year-old singer - who banned himself from sex while competing in the TV talent show to improve his chances of winning - may want to consider curbing his drinking in the New Year after admitting he enjoys the occasional binge.

He once said: "I'm not shy about nipping to the corner shop to get myself a cheeky half bottle of Buckfast fortified wine. I like to drink my beer but if it's not going down well I like some vodka and Red Bull.

"It gets me steaming then keeps me going through the rest of the night!"
