Congratulations to The X Factor winner Ben Haenow – whose new single is helping Brian House!

Ben is Number One in the iTunes charts with his winner’s single ‘Something I Need’. The song is now in stores to buy on CD and also available as a download, with 100% of its profits from the sale of each CD single and download and from streaming going to Together for Short Lives, the national charity for children’s hospices.

It is hoped that at least £1 for each CD and 20p from each download will be donated and Brian House, as part of Together for Short Lives, will benefit.

Ben will be performing the song live during Text Santa tonight for the first time since the final, so make sure you tune in from 8pm on ITV. Watch Paddy McGuinness and Alesha Dixon take part in The Cube, tune into Coronation Street with a few surprise guests and watch many more shows with a ‘Text Santa’ twist.
