X Factor winner Ben Haenow was greeted by a crowd of screaming fans as he arrived in Cardiff to a signing session for his debut single Something I Need.
The singer, who beat fellow contestant Fleur East for the coveted title, thrilled his fans at HMV on Queen’s Street.
Ben is already on course for the Christmas number with his version of the song by One Republic after increasing the gap over nearest rival Mark Ronson.
Ben has shifted 107,000 copies of his single since its release on Sunday night, putting him in line to be the seventh winner of the ITV contest to clinch a festive chart-topper.
The singer looked relaxed and was happy to pose for selfies, much to the delight of his adoring fans.
And as usual everyone’s excited about it.
A few were disappointed they couldn’t meet the 29-year-old singer.
Meanwhile, others are hoping he’ll get to the top of the Christmas charts.
