Ray Quinn has spoken out about X Factor.
Talking about the shock of being dropped, he told Metro: “I got dropped by my label when I was 18 and it felt like the end of the world – but the show did set me up for the career I’ve had.”
He agreed that the programme does give contestants unrealistic expectations: “Yes – anything that happens quickly ends quickly.”
He then took part in Dancing on Ice.
Despite that, Ray added that he has The X Factor to thank for his career so far: “I can only thank Simon Cowell really. I chose to work in the West End and so many things came from it.”
The 26-year-old is now hoping to get back into music and has set up his own record label with the help of crowd funding.Are saunas actually good for you? Here’s what experts have to say
