Some pretty big names were watching The X Factor's Louisa Johnson triumph...
It’s fair to say that The X Factor’s Louisa Johnson was a very popular winner last night – with viewers and celebs alike.
The 17-year-old wowed with her performance in the final and it resulted in her beating fellow finalists Reggie N Bollie to a highly emotional victory – well done, Louisa!
Louisa Johnson’s X Factor journey
Many big names were watching the young singer, who was mentored by judge Rita Ora, as she triumphed on the show and her win certainly sparked a HUGE reaction from these showbiz fans.
Mark Wright was totally blown away by Louisa following her staggering finale performance, calling it ‘unreal’ on Twitter:
Congratulations @louisa #unreal #hammer

Former TOWIE star Mark wasn’t the only reality TV face to praise Louisa for her romp to X Factor glory.
Others including Geordie Shore’s Gary Beadle called her ‘insane’ (in a good way, obvs) whilst Made In Chelsea’s Oliver Proudlock spurred her on too.
Louisa is being tipped for stardom by many famous names. In fact last year’s I’m A Celebrity winner Carl Fogarty has predicted that she could even surpass Leona Lewis, who triumphed on The X Factor back in 2006.
That @louisa is awesome.. As good as @leonalewis if not better.?!!
