He revealed one of his tracks, All Yours, was about his relationship.
Speaking about the song, Ben said: “This is kind of about when you’re away from someone and maybe you’re not taking the care and attention that you should to keep in contact with them, what their friends are saying back home and the stories that are being told.
“It’s basically just about when you go out and you put yourself out there and people don’t understand that everything you’re doing is for them and it seems like you’re offending or hurting someone.”
Jessica supported Ben throughout his X Factor journey.
