Dalton Harris, X factor UK winner, went back to his hometown in Clarendon, Jamaica to visit his friends, the Lewinson family, who come from the rural small community of Grantham.

"He came to see us last week Saturday (two Saturdays ago). It was really joyful to see him again," Rowena Lewinson told Loop Jamaica. Ms. Lewinson is the adopted 'mother' of Dalton Harris, who gave the singer the attention and care that has helped with his present success, and his involvement in Digital Rising Stars--- a Jamaican musical competition.

"After he won the (X Factor) contest, he had called us to say that he would be visiting this summer, but he came to see us a bit early instead. It was great because everybody had been asking how come he hasn't come to look for us yet. He was doing a documentary about his musical life, and we did an interview with the directors who came with him, about our role in starting him on his journey, and how he got in touch with me and my mother (now deceased)," she told the reporter for Loop.

Rowena also mentioned how the family and Dalton shared a beautiful moment when they sang some original songs together. "We sang 'Sailor Boy' together and Dalton cried, and we also did 'God Is Our Refuge and Strength'. It was a really beautiful moment," she expressed.

However, Lewinson was a bit sad as well based on the comments made towards her community since Dalton's win. She told the news site how a lot of people come to her with questions about the relationship between the X factor UK winner and his mother Sylvia Campbell.

"Everyone down pon me, down pon me, that Dalton must take care of his mother. But I keep telling them that what he wants to do with his mom is his business. He is a grown man, and he has the proper values and attitudes, and he is a big man, yuh can't see rain a fall and tell a big man say rain a fall. If he wants to take care of his mother - and I am sure he is doing his best by her - that is his business. So I need people to stop asking me these questions," Rowena said.
