And as the dust slowly settled on the young singer’s resounding triumph, mentor Nicole Scherzinger had cause to celebrate as she stepped out in the capital later that night.

Plenty to smile about: Nicole Scherzinger had cause to celebrate as she stepped out in London after guiding Matt Terry to The X Factor crown on Sunday evening 

Catching the eye in a plunging black top and sheer skirt, Nicole showed off a pair of nicely toned legs as she made her way inside the popular venue.

With an edgy leather jacket casually draped across her shoulders, The X Factor judge beamed at onlookers ahead of her latest public appearance in the capital.

Nicole had good company in the form of Jade Thirlwall and Leigh-Anne Pinnock, who had their own reason to celebrate following a stunning live performance on the hit show earlier that night.

Opting for a thigh-skimming sequinned minidress and strappy black heels, Jade, 23, looked typically stylish as she arrived hand in hand with a male pal. 

Meanwhile band-mate Leigh-Anne, 25, sported a comparatively low key fitted top and high-slung ripped jeans. 

The sultry singer teamed her ensemble with a pair of conventional nude heels while making her entrance on the arm of hunky Little Mix backing dancer Claudimar Neto.

Letting off steam: The singer was stepping out following a successful appearance on The X Factor 

Their appearance came after Bromley-born crooner Matt beat out competition from fellow hopeful Saara Aalto, 29, after the duo battled it out in the live show in Wembley Arena.

Led by Nicole, the 23-year-old reigned victorious in the show's 13th series after which he belted out the winner's single Christmas Comes Around, written by Ed Sheeran.

He is the eighth solo male to win the show, although his predecessors have often failed to find chart success - a curse Matt is no doubt aiming to defeat.
