Former teen heartthrob and X-Factor favourite Eoghan Quigg is now a proud dad and looks all grown up 14 years after his TV debut.
When he auditioned for the 2008 series X-Factor at just 16 years-old, the Northern Irish schoolboy stunned the judges with his vocals. He also swooned viewers with his cheeky grin and trademark spiky hairstyle.
With Simon Cowell as a mentor, Eoghan soon made it onto the live shows and placed third in the competition overall. Now, the Irish charmer's baby-face is nowhere to be seen as he is a happy parent.
Flaunting two full arm sleeves of tattoos, His former blonde spiky highlights has evolved into a mature comb-over look. Eoghan was previously open about having a hair transplant back in 2020 after feeling "so insecure" watching it recede over a period of years, the Mirror reports.
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."
He lives in Derry with his girlfriend Amy Campbell, whom he first started dating in 2015. They welcomed daughter Emmy Belle in April last year, and is an active part in Amy's two children from a previous relationship lives.
He still does singing and is part of Irish wedding band The Housem8s. Eoghan was due to be signed to Simon's record label but the music mogul ended up pulling out.
The teen went on to sign with RCA Records and released his self-titled album in 2009. It placed 14th in the UK charts and his single 28,000 Friends only made it No 96 - seeing Eoghan dropped from the record company.
Five years later Eoghan tired to represent Ireland in the Eurovision Song Contest in 2014 with 'The Movie Song' but he was finished second in the contest.
Deciding his music career was over, Eoghan then moved into football and Nothern Irish football club Coagh United FC in 2015 before moving to Portstewart FC.
