Dalton Harris found fame on X Factor in 2018. Kim Longinotto and Frank Murray Brown's moving documentary followed him for four years as he won hearts on the singing contest and attempted to convert that into a career. The Jamaican-born star had the sort of back story that audiences also lap up, including an impoverished childhood, but the documentarians don't go down the sensationalist route. Instead they allow Dalton time and space to tell his story, including his experience of homophobia in his homeland. A fine example of collaborative filmmaking that results in raw honesty from its subject as he tries to reconnect with his mum and improve his mental wellbeing.

John Carpenter has often proved a simple premise can pay dividends and does so here as a near-defunct police station comes.

In 2004, former “Pop Idol” judge Simon Cowell created “The X Factor” for British television with the goal of it far surpassing his previous show as the ultimate vocal talent competition. A new season aired every year until 2018, when Dalton Harris was crowned the latest winner. Scroll through our photo gallery to learn more about him and the 14 others on “The X Factor UK” winners list.
In June of 2022, reports began circulating that the UK version of “The X Factor” will soon return for a 16th season. While this information has not been entirely confirmed, the show’s resurgence would likely be a welcome one, given that “American Idol” has done well with US audiences since it was revived in 2018 and “The Voice” franchise is still going strong in both countries.
