Simon Cowell Has Offered Ella Henderson a Record Deal!

It might have been a shock that she went out of the competition so early but it comes as no surprise that former X Factor contestant Ella Henderson has already been offered a record deal.

And it will also come as no surprise that former judge Simon Cowell is the man behind it.

Ella showed her singing and songwriting talents on this year's show.

According to reports the 16-year-old singer who was booted out of the show at the weekend, after the vote between her and James Arthur went to deadlock, is in demand.

But Ella is yet to sign on any dotted line. Apparently, and under the watchful eye of her father who will also be her manager, she wants to weigh up all of her options before she agrees to anything.

James Arthur was the contestant she was up against during the sing-off.

Simon is said to be keen to sign the rising star to Syco but Columbia, Epic and RCA are also interested.

It seems that being kicked off the show actually works in your favour this year as today Beer Fear star Lucy Spraggan also revealed that she won't be taking part in the X Factor tour because she will be doing her own.
