Benji said: I’m so excited about this track I’ve never written a Christmas song before, I didn’t want to use all the old Christmas clichés and I wanted something fresh and different.

“I’m really looking forward to seeing what people think of it, the comments I’ve had so far have been supportive and encouraging, I consider myself to be truly blessed to have so many kind followers and friends.”

During his time on The X Factor, Benji had impressed the show’s judges with his original songs.

Simon Cowell said he loved Benji’s original song Daydream and described him as a ‘little rough diamond that he would remember and said he was a great song writer’
