LONDON - Last year's 'X Factor' winner Leon Jackson is offering his fans an insight into his life ahead of the release of his debut album with an online TV show on Bebo.

'Leon's Life', which launched this week, neatly coincides with the release of Jackson's first album and the start of the finals stage in this year's 'X Factor'.

Fans are being promised an "access all areas" pass to his life and will be able to see him everywhere from the recording studio to the red carpet.

The 2007 'X Factor' winner will also be seen appearing on the new series of the ITV show as reigning champion.

The documentary is thought to be the first such collaboration between a social media network and a celebrity and it is hoped the honest exposure will help boost sales of Jackson's album and his next single, 'Don't Call This Love', which will be released on Monday (Oct 13).

Anyone who logs on to Bebo.com/leonslife will be able to interact with the show, posting comments, questions and suggestions on the site.

Meanwhile die-hard fans will be able to see even more action as outtakes from the show are posted on Jackson's own website Leonjacksonmusic.com.
