LOOK At The Very Familiar Irish Face Who Just Auditioned On The X Factor

Representing the Midlands in style! One very familiar face graced our screens on this evening's X Factor. Athlone man Joseph McCaul auditioned for the show and compared himself to a 'ginger Stevie Wonder'. The singer, who represented Ireland in the Eurovision back in 2005 with his sister Donna, featured on the X Factor this evening and his first song didn't go down well with Simon at all. "You’re a great singer but a horrible performer," Simon said, and invited him to come back later on with another song, as he "wants to give him a shot".

Phew… ? Second song/time lucky for Joseph McCaul. Welcome to the Boot Camp crew. #XFactor pic.twitter.com/cE63INtqpC

Joe, who got as far as Boot Camp in 2012, came back with I Wanna Dance With Somebody by Whitney Houston and earned a 'yes' from every judge for the performance. "I need a pint after that," he told hosts Olly Murs and Caroline Flack afterwards. https://youtu.be/PIDUUIxEu_k “I just want it back. I just want success. To me, it’s about achieving,” he told Radio Times before his audition. Video via YouTube/The X Factor UK
