WHAT do others think of X Factor's Ashford?

Christine Smith, deputy general manager of catering at the Galpharm stadium, hired him a year ago. She said: He is really pleasant and very personable.

He worked here last year during the summer and we were all really happy for him and behind him when he was on Channel Five.

Now everyone here is 100% behind him and we will all hopefully get the chance to vote for him.

Janet Straughan, head teacher at Huddersfield Grammar School, talked of the success of the Campbell brothers. She said Both he and his brother Fraizer are former pupils and we are delighted they have done so well.

Ash is very unassuming, and really just a very nice young man. Ash knew he has a talent for singing but has kept his feet on the ground.

He studied languages and has gone on to university, knowing that singing is such a precarious profession.

"He has always had a way with him but never arrogant in fact quite the opposite, he is charming and polite.

Ashford already has two fan pages on Facebook entitled, Ashford Campbell and Ashford Campbell fans.
