Matt Terry (born 20 May 1993) is an English singer. He won the thirteenth UK series of The X Factor in 2016. His debut single, "When Christmas Comes Around", was released in the United Kingdom on 11 December 2016 and peaked at number three on the UK Singles Chart.
Terry auditioned for the thirteenth UK series of The X Factor in 2016, singing a cover of Ben E. King's "Stand by Me", which earned him the maximum four yeses from the judges. Terry was placed in the "boys" category and reached the live shows, where he was mentored by Nicole Scherzinger. Following the eliminations of Freddy Parker in week two and Ryan Lawrie in week seven, Terry became Scherzinger's last act left in the competition. He ended up in the bottom two in week 9 and faced the sing-off against Emily Middlemas but was saved by three of the four judges.
On 11 December 2016, he was crowned as the winner of The X Factor 2016, beating Saara Aalto, making him the second winner, after James Arthur, to be in the bottom two at any given stage. He immediately released his winner's single, "When Christmas Comes Around", an original song written by Ed Sheeran. It is only the second time that the winner has released an original winner's song, the first being the second series winner Shayne Ward, who released his debut single "That's My Goal". Following his win, Terry signed with RCA Records.
