The 2012 X Factor winner - who has since denounced the competition since winning - was dropped from his label Syco last summer. His various run-ins on Twitter saw him quit the site, although he has returned to it since.

He thanked his fans and his publishers, which he claimed "helped me turn it around."
His second studio album will be released in 2016.
