X Factor star branded unrecognisable by fans as he goes viral on TikTok after quitting soap and getting ‘normal job’
X FACTOR star Ray Quinn was branded unrecognisable by fans after pulling off dance moves in the kitchen.
The singer, who shot to fame on Brookside in 2000, placed second on the third series of the ITV show in 2006.
After his stint on the X Factor, Ray released his debut album , Doing It My Way, which peaked at number one.
Over the years he’s appeared in various TV shows and released more music.
But nowadays he does a more ‘normal’ job – and enjoys filming TikToks with his fiancée Emily Fletcher.
The pair – who have been together since 2017 – have a joint account where they share snippets of their life together.
In a recent post, the two cut some shapes and captioned the post: “Home after Date night.. Happy Saturday.”
Some thought that Ray looked different to his X Factor days and shared their confusion on the comments section.
One asked: “Wait is this Ray Quinn from X factor uk.”
Another pointed out: “It’s ray.”
“Oh wow !! It is him,” a third chimed in.
Ray and Emily got together after his split from ex-wife Emma Stephens.
The former couple – who share a son – were together between 2012 and 2015.
This time last year Ray and Ashley, who got engaged in 2020, announced the birth of their first child.
Ray has had a very successful career over the years.
Two years after his tour following on from his X Factor success, he took part in the fourth series of Dancing on Ice.
Over the years Ray has appeared in various West End productions.
He also landed a role as Jonny Baxter in Hollyoaks in 2018.
Following on from that he released his second album – Undeniable – in 2020.
However, during the coronavirus pandemic, his work dried up and started working as a delivery man.
Ray now works with his family as a carpenter.
