Dalton Harris is extremely thankful following his X Factor UK win on Sunday.

The 24-year-old Jamaican emerged victor over thousands who submitted entries and auditions; survived the intensity of the six-chair challenge, the drama of their coaches homes, and the pressure of the seven live shows and performances.

“I have been trying to find words to describe my emotions and gratitude and thankfulness but none of them are enough,” Harris wrote online. “To say THANK YOU would be an understatement.  My dream is a reality.  I got up and did it and never stopped. To all who voted, sent me love, encouragement and just a kind word.  To kids everywhere that think there are limits…understand that there are NONE.  I Love You and Thank You.”
