X-Factor winner Ben Haenow has confirmed his departure from Simon Cowell's record label Syco just a few months after releasing his debut album.

The 31-year-old, who won the show back in 2014, has confirmed the news in an open letter to his fans. He wrote:

"So I wanted to let you all know directly from me, that after what has been the most incredible experience working on my debut album, myself and Syco entertainment have decided to part ways"

Ben had been with the label for just over a year and it seems there are no hard feelings.

"Working with The X Factor and Syco has been the most amazing time of my life and has given me the best possible platform for the start of my career. I have the upmost respect for them both and cannot thank them enough for all the help and everything they have done for me this past year"
