Ella Henderson (Gabriella Michelle Henderson born 12 January 1996) is a student from Grimsby who was first discovered on the popular TV Show, The X Factor. She was early favourite to win the show, but was unexpectedly axed from the show in the quarter finals when facing another popular contestant, James Arthur. After singing for survival, the judges (Gary Barlow, Tulisa Contostavlos, Nicole Scherzinger, Louis Walsh) each voted for who they felt deserved to stay in the competition. However, they each received two votes from the judges, therefore they had to resort to the deadlock system. That week, Ella Henderson shockingly received the fewest votes from the public and left the competition. Since the show, the star has announced being signed to Simon Cowell's recorded label 'Syco' and has most recently had her name written on the famous Sony Wall next to the likes of Beady Eyes. Ella Henderson has also recently been doing a lot of work on her debut album which will be released later this year.

Ella is most famous for singing her heart out on her first audition when she sang her very own song 'Missed'. This song was written for her grandfather who sadly passed away. He was a huge inspiration to her and encouraged her to follow her dreams.
