X Factor Matt Terry's 'crazy' fan encounter and life 6 years after ITV show

RCA Syco Simon Cowell Daily Star

Matt Terry shot to stardom when he competed on X Factor season 13.

The popstar appeared on the hit ITV programme in 2016 and wowed the judges with his rendition of Stand By Me at the audition stage. Matt sailed through the live shows when he was mentored by Nicole Scherzinger - and saw off competition from Saara Aalto to eventually be crowned the winner.

He soon released his debut single, When Christmas Comes Around, which shot to number three on the UK Singles Charts. The winner of the show is awarded a record deal - and Matt told the Daily Star he decided against going with Simon Cowell's label, Syco.
