Joe McElderry has beaten Olly Murs to win 2009's X Factor and a £1million recording contract. The 18-year-old from Essex will now release his version of 'The Climb', originally performed by Miley Cyrus.
There were more than 10 million votes cast and in the end, the bookies favourite for weeks won through. Joe wowed last night during his performance with George Michael and by far produced the best rendition of this year’s winner song on tonight’s show.
