Devon's X Factor hero will return home with mentor Louis Walsh today. They'll be touring the area Luke calls home building up to his hugely anticipated homecoming gig at The Great Hall in Exeter.
17 year old Luke from Teignmouth will perform to a crowd of his most adoring fans tomorrow night, some of whom were waiting outside the Guildhall Shopping Centre from as early as 4am today in the hope they could get their hands on some tickets.
We caught up with Luke briefly this afternoon to find out how he's been getting on.
