«Breaking News» The X Factor winner Dalton Harris confesses he 'still can't feel anything'

His cover of Power of Love featuring former champion James Arthur is an overnight success as it has topped number one on iTunes.

And Dalton Harris admitted he still 'can't feel anything' when he appeared on Lorraine on Monday after he beat Scarlett Lee to the The X Factor crown on Sunday.

The X Factor winner, 24, gushed winning the show was a 'crazy' feeling as he revealed it hadn't 'sunk in' yet.

'It hasn't sunk in': The X Factor winner Dalton Harris confessed he 'still can't feel anything' after winning the show with cover of The Power Of Love

He told the chat show host: 'Never gets normal I think. No it's not sunk in. Still not able to feel anything. It's just crazy! It'll sink in.'

A favourite among viewers and judges from day one, the Jamaican-born star grew up in poverty with his 22 brothers and sisters. 

In 2010, a then 16-year-old Dalton won the Jamaican equivalent of X Factor named Digicel Rising Stars.

Dalton scooped a cash prize of $1 million Jamaican dollars, which is the equivalent to £6,200, but he returned to school at his manager Donovan Germain's request. 

The winner insisted there was 'absolutely no room for error' on his side and he stressed he had to do his 'best'.

On his childhood, he said: 'Oh yeah! Absolutely. No room for error on my side. I have had to do my best.

'I needed to go to school. Feed myself. Do normal stuff. It was a big help. I knew I wanted to be an artist and I knew I had to go to be a big platform. It's been since 2011 I've been working to get here.'

In 2014, the Caribbean star released the single Pauper which made it to Number One in the Jamaican dance hall charts after finishing his education.

The star went onto release three albums before he brought his astonishing singing talents to The X Factor.

Dalton confessed he sometimes suffered with his confidence and he admitted he wasn't sure he had the star quality for television.

He shared: 'I think Louis Tomlinson is the one who over the course of my journey has said be yourself. Normally I'm naturally laid back. I questioned, why am I even here? I'm quiet. Am I not TV enough? He was like no you're you!' 

Standout star of The X Factor 2018, Dalton scooped the title of champion on Sunday night's grand finale.

The Jamaican-born, who was mentored by new judge - and former X Factor contestant - Louis, performed his winner's single, teaming up with another former winner James Arthur to cover Frankie Goes To Hollywood's The Power Of Love.

Dalton beat runner-up Scarlett Lee to the crown, both knocking third place Anthony Russell out of the running.

But aside from the stomping success of the consistently-excellent Dalton, viewers of the show nearly turned off moments after it started airing on ITV, thanks to the 'weird' opening act. 

Viewers were left baffled as the show opened with a performance of South Korean children's song Baby Shark, seemingly out of no-where.

The premise behind this was that Simon Cowell's son, Eric, four, had 'taken over' from his dad and authorised the opening act, as set up by a VT at the start of the show.

Fans of the series - half of whom arguably might not have children - didn't have a clue what they were seeing unfold on their TV screens as a group of people dressed as sharks took to Wembley Arena and chanted the lyrics 'Baby shark, doo doo doo doo doo doo, Mommy shark, doo doo doo doo doo doo, Grandma shark, doo doo doo doo doo doo, Let’s go hunt, doo doo doo doo doo doo!'

Jumped the shark? X Factor viewers were left baffled as the season finale opened with a performance of South Korean children's song Baby Shark, seemingly out of no-where, on Sunday

'This is Eric's first release on SyKids Records,' Simon joked, adding that it's now available to download.

But viewers weren't amused. 'What on earth am I watching?' came one puzzled viewer's twitter response, followed by another who typed: 'Is this for f**king real? Wtf!' 

'Why the f**k is the x factor playing baby shark is this really what it’s come to now?' another angry viewer demanded.

'This is absolutely cringe and a bad idea for TV this shark s**te,' another remarked, as someone else posted: 'Am i on drugs or whats going on?'

U okay, hun? The premise behind this was that Simon Cowell 's son, Eric, four, had 'taken over' from his dad and authorised the opening act, as set up by a VT at the start of the show

Bizarre: Fans of the series - half of whom arguably might not have children - didn't have a clue what they were seeing unfold on their TV screens as a group of people dressed as sharks took to Wembley Arena and chanted the lyrics 'Baby shark, doo doo doo doo doo doo'

He's got the power (of love): Dalton's cover of the Frankie Goes To Hollywood Christmas classic, originally released in 1984, was made immediately available as he was crowned the winner

'BABY SHARK. I am dying at what this show has become?' wrote another horrified tweeter.

Another scathing tweet read: 'Remember when #XFactor final brought together some of the best artist in the world now in 2018 they’re opening the show with Baby Shark. I can not.'

Followed by, 'Dancing sharks & s**t Scouse singer Anthony shouting about a riot,' and, 'Reason number 1,000,001 to love #LouisTomlinson: He refused to stand for Baby Shark!'

Baby Shark first appeared in 2007, but has recently resurfaced as a viral craze, staring in Southeast Asia. 

Not amused: 'What on earth am I watching?' came one puzzled viewer, followed by another who typed: 'Is this for f**king real? Wtf'

K-pop bands then caught on, performing the routine at their own concerts and last summer the Baby Shark Challenge swept the net.

It's gaining on racking up two billion YouTube views and ended up in the UK Top 40, beating names such as Keala Settle and Cardi B.

The performance somewhat overshadowed the fact that 'serious' artists, Dalton, Scarlett and Anthony were battling out for a record deal with Cowell's label, SyCo.

It's not been a stellar year for The X Factor - and so perhaps the opening performance of the 15th season's grand finale was, in fact, befitting. 

As the dust settled on the shark situation, the competition was able to get to business, with each of the finalists taking to the stage to perform their would-be winners' single, should they take home the crown.

Make love your goal! Dalton has been the highest charting X Factor act on iTunes, with four of his songs entering the iTunes Top 30 so far, including I Have Nothing, Creep and California Dreamin’, while his Big Band Week performance of Beyoncé’s Listen peaked at No. 15, the highest peak of the series

Anthony was first, singing I Predict A Riot, originally made famous by Kaiser Chiefs. In a shock appearance, Ricky Wilson - Kaiser Chiefs front man - cropped up, dueting with the 28-year-old Liverpudlian.

Scarlett was joined by former X Factor champion Leona Lewis, singing her 2013 Christmas hit One More Sleep as her winner's single.

The episode was peppered by other guest stars, including Ellie Goulding and Nile Rodgers - the latter of whom has appeared sporadically across the entire season at Tomlinson's Judges' Houses round with Liam Payne, and as Robbie Williams' stand-up while he had to sit two weeks of live episodes out thanks to touring committments.

When asked by hosts Dermot O Leary whom they felt was the deserved champion, both Ellie and Nile were in agreement that Dalton stood out a mile. 

Band mates, judges, pals: Robbie also performed on Sunday night, joining his sometime-band mates, Take That, on stage to celebrate the group's 30th anniversary

Looking sharp: Ayda Williams and husband Robbie made their entrance earlier in the finale, neither of whom had acts left battling for the crown

Showman: The grand finale of The X Factor 2018 seemed to very much be The Robbie Show, as the judge - whose final act Acacia & Aaliyah were voted out last week - took to the stage over the weekend for multiple performances

The J word: As the songs came to an end, X Factor host Dermot O'Leary took to the stage to interview the quartet, making a blunder when he mentioned fifth member Jason Orange, who sensationally quit the band in 2014

Everything changes but you! Celebrating the group's 30th anniversary, Mark Owen, Howard Donald and - also once an X Factor judge - Gary Barlow linked up with Robbie for a white-tuxedo'd rendition of hits Shine and Everything Changes

Look of love: Adya celebrated her husband's performance by giving him a romantic kiss

Robbie also performed on Sunday night, joining his sometime-band mates, Take That, on stage to celebrate the group's 30th anniversary.

Mark Owen, Howard Donald and - another former X Factor judge - Gary Barlow linked up with Robbie for a white-tuxedo'd rendition of hits Shine and Everything Changes.

Robbie had performed on Saturday night's first part of the finale weekend, too; taking to the stage with all of the season 15 finalists from across the past two months, and then with Scarlett for a duet.

Climbing: Dalton's odds of scooping this year's coveted Christmas No. 1 spot are 1-3, with Coral’s John Hill saying: 'Dalton Harris has given many punters an early Christmas present by winning X Factor where he was heavily backed from very early into the series.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.

Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
