"This year’s FX Star is fun, current and entertaining. Like The X Factor, it celebrates the feel good moments that bring people together and is a chance for our customers, and fans of the show, to enjoy sharing and showcasing their inner pop star.”

Jodes, who went to school with The X Factor and One Direction star Louis Tomlinson said: “I love The X Factor because music is my biggest passion and I actually sing myself, I would definitely love to go down that career route in the future!
