Joe McElderry has got the X factor
Joe McElderry has won the 2009 series of ITV1 talent show the X Factor.
The 18-year-old, from South Shields, beat Olly Murs in the public vote in the final of the show.
McElderry beat 200,000 applicants to The X Factor and more than 10 million public votes were cast.
He hugged his mentor, fellow Geordie Cheryl Cole, and said: “I can’t even speak, thank you so much everyone.”
He added: “I can’t actually speak and I just want to say thank you to Cheryl, she’s been an amazing mentor.”
He also thanked the other judges and everyone who voted for him.
His victory topped one of the most lucrative weekends in British broadcasting, with an extended results show creating prime advertising spots in front of an expected audience of 20 million.
