X Factor's Ray Quinn looks unrecognisable as he enjoys stag do in Dublin - 15 years on from his...
He finished in second place behind Leona Lewis on the third series of The X Factor in 2006.
But swing singer Ray Quinn, 35, quit his life of fame to become a labourer when the coronavirus pandemic hit in March 2020.
And he now looks unrecognisable having grown out his hair and inked his arms with tattoo sleeves.
In a picture posted on Instagram on Monday, Ray appeared in great spirits as he enjoyed his stag do in Dublin after proposing to long-term partner Emily Ashleigh.
He donned a grey t-shirt which had pictures of him printed across the front and it read: 'star of stage & screen Quinny's stag do'
He captioned the post: 'Stag do. What a boss time it was.. with all the boys in Dublin, pint of Guinness and a UFC belt to boot.. loved every minute.. still feeling it but memories to last a lifetime.. nice one boys'
Ray made British music history after competing on The X Factor by becoming the youngest male artist to reach the top spot of the UK album chart without releasing a single.
