Piers Morgan joins Leeds United supporters backing Vinnie Jones for Celebrity X Factor win

Leeds United legend Vinnie Jones is being backed to win Celebrity X Factor by Piers Morgan.

The Good Morning Britain host, 54, has taken to Twitter to back the footballer-turned-actor in his quest to win the first series of the ITV show.

The brave star is taking part in the programme to honour his wife Tanya, 53, who died following a cancer battle.

Vinnie has spoken of his desire to do the show because it is what his wife would have wanted.

And he’s been backed by Leeds United supporters to take the title on Simon Cowell’s singing reality TV series.

Now, Piers Morgan has come out and shown his support for Vinnie with a post on Twitter.

The Celebrity X Factor will be on ITV over the coming weekends.

We’ll keep you posted on Vinnie’s progress.
