Did Ed Sheeran really write it?

Many people are talking about whether Ed Sheeran did actually write the winner's song and the answer is yes he did.

The singer/songwriter wrote the track When Christmas Comes Around with co-writer Amy Wadge and after sending it to Simon Cowell, it became the winner's song.

However, some fans believe Ed should have kept the song for himself, with one person tweeting:"@edsheeran should never have given that song to @MattTerry93 - I want to hear Ed singing it not an X Factor winner. So mad."

And someone else wrote on Twitter: "That song would have been so much better if Ed Sheeran had of sang it himself".
