Eoghan Quigg was just 16 years old when he first appeared on screens in the 2008 series of The X Factor. He made it to the semi finals in the show and is now a radio presenter in Ireland.
The former teen star, who is now 30 years old, has announced he's expecting a second baby with his girlfriend, in a series of cute family videos and snaps on Instagram. Eoghan lives in Derry with his partner Amy, their baby daughter Emmy Belle, who was born in April 2021, and Amy's two children from a previous relationship.
Eoghan looks very different from his X Factor days. Gone is his spikey and messy blonde and brown hair for a much older and sophisticated slicked-back look. Eoghan now also sports a beard and some impressive tattoos.

Eoghan announced the baby news by posting a video of himself and Amy telling their kids she was pregnant on Instagram. In another adorable clip, Emmy Belle looks at and kisses the sonogram of her baby brother or sister, as The Mirror reports.
The star captioned the video: "We go again.. Baby number four due next spring.. We couldn’t be happier.. #BabyQuigg".
After appearing on The X Factor, Eoghan was set to sign to Simon Cowell's record label, however, Simon pulled out and the young singer eventually signed up with RCA Records to release his self-titled album, Eoghan Quigg, in April 2009. The album did not do well and Eoghan was dropped by the record label so he then moved into football and Nothern Irish football club Coagh United FC in 2015 before moving to Portstewart FC.
In 2017 he began hosting showbiz news for the Irish radio station Q Radio and remains as their showbiz presenter.
