The X Factor star Eoghan Quigg looks almost unrecognisable 16 years after the show.The Northern Irish singer was just 16 years old when he made his appearance on the ITV singing competition back in 2008 and made it all the way to the semi-finals.

But he is now 32 and a dad to two adorable children. Following his brief stint on the series, Eoghan disappeared from the public eye and has recently been documenting his life as a father after welcoming a baby daughter, Emmy Belle, in April 2021, with partner Amy Campbell and welcoming a son, Camden, in April 2023.The now 32 year old lives in Derry with his partner Amy, their daughter, their son as well as her two children from a previous relationship.

The pair have been together since 2015 and bought their first home in 2019. Speaking about becoming a father for the first time when he welcomed his daughter Emmy in April 2021, Eoghan told The Belfast Telegraph: "We are both delighted, absolutely over the moon. "In a very strange and tough year, it’s fantastic news and has definitely turned 2020 into a very memorable year for us – in a good way." Eoghan appeared on The X Factor in 2008 where he wowed the judges with his audition where Louis Walsh said he had "star quality" while Simon Cowell added that he was "terrific" and that he has "just got it".

Following his appearance on The X Factor, Eoghan opted to return to school and study at university. After graduating, Eoghan swapped from singing to broadcasting as he now presents Northern Ireland’s Q Radio.
