The internet reacts to Ben Haenow's X Factor 2014 win

Ben Haenow has just beaten fellow Overs act Fleur East to take this year's X Factor title.

It was the battle of 'Team Cowell' as the music mogul mentored both acts in the final. But it's the former van driver from Croydon who will be putting pen to paper and signing this year's winner's contract. He's also released his very own single, a cover of OneRepublic's Something I Need, in a bid for this year's Christmas Number One.

Here's how the result went down online...

There was happiness

Excitement

Capital letter-filled excitement

For some it's all about Xtra Factor
