Music mogul Simon Cowell has spoken out about the fact that every penny of profit made from sales of The X Factor's winner's single will be donated straight to a charity called Together For Short Lives.

100% of the profits made from downloads and CD sales will go directly to the charity and Cowell released an official statement on the fantastic news, in which he explained he is 'delighted' to be helping such an important cause:

"Together for Short Lives is such an inspiring and important charity for so many kids and their families who really need help and support. These hospices are really happy and positive places and are a complete lifeline for so many families."

"Having worked with this charity for many years I have been able to see first hand how they have impacted so many lives, and I’m delighted that The X Factor’s winner single sales will go directly to helping them."

Barbara Gelb, CEO of Together for Short Lives, added: "We are so delighted to benefit from The X Factor Charity single this year. Together for Short Lives is the leading UK charity that speaks for all children with life-threatening and life-limiting conditions and all those who support, love and care for them. Our work helps to ensure that children can get the best possible care, when and where they need it."
