Eoghan looks worlds away from his baby-faced teenage days and is now a proud father
Eoghan Quigg, 30, from Dungiven, was just a fresh-faced schoolboy when he first wowed the judges with his vocals and marketable look with his cheeky grin and trademark spiky hairstyle.
With Simon Cowell as a mentor, Eoghan made it onto the live shows and placed third in the competition overall.14 years on, the Irish charmer looks worlds away from his teenage days and, after riding on the coattails of fame in the years that followed X Factor, is now a proud father.His blonde highlights coiffed into a spiky look are a thing of the past with the singer preferring a comb-over look nowadays.
He wrote at the time: "I have to say it is the best decision I have ever made. For men, losing their hair can be such a stressful experience and one that we maybe don’t often open up or talk about enough."Eoghan is now a father to daughter Emmy Belle, 17 months, who he welcomed with Amy in April last year. He also plays an active part in the lives of Amy's two children from a previous relationship.
In 2014, Eoghan competed against five other acts to win the spot to represent Ireland in the Eurovision Song Contest with 'The Movie Song' but he finished second and did not go on to the Eurovision.
