News about Joe McElderry

Joe McElderry sported a deep tan and wore a plunging black blazer as he left the Olivier Awards 2024 on Sunday night.   The singer, 32, - who won the sixth series of the ITV show The X Factor in 2009 - showed off a very bronzed look as he headed home after the event held at the Royal Albert Hall in London. He wore a plunging black jacket with velvet lapels that displayed his toned chest with a deep v. 

Both John and Edward Grimes, 32, were brothers who competed in an iconic X Factor line-up, with them finishing behind Stacey Solomon, Olly Murs, and Joe McElderry, an 18-year-old champion. The Dublin pop duo, who Walsh once described as 'role models,' were swiftly transformed from novelty act to popstar, with their towering hair, coordinating outfits, and bubbly personalities. Jedward's first two albums went platinum in Ireland, while others represented their country twice in Eurovision and then moved to the Celebrity Big Brother house in 2011 and 2017. However, Jedward has also sparked controversy with their sharp tongues and launched scathing attacks on Walsh, who ruled the pair between 2009 and 2013.

On Friday, Joe McElderry looked completely different from his days on The X Factor as he headed out on a private yacht in Barbados with friends. In 2009, the singer, 31, appeared on the show for the first time when he was just 18 years old, deposing Stacey Solomon and Olly Murs to the throne. Joe, 14, looked worlds away from the baby-faced teenager who dominated the competition with his interpretation of Miley Cyrus' The Climb.

On Wednesday, Joe McElderry soaked up the sun during an idyllic beach day in Barbados, looking worlds away from his teenage X Factor days. The artist, 31, appeared on the show aged just 18 in 2009, beating off stiff opposition from Stacey Solomon, Olly Murs, Rachel Adedeji, and Jedward. And now, 14 years old, Joe certainly has spruced up as he showed off his svelte physique when enjoying a day by the sea on his tropical escape from the Caribbean island.

He came to prominence nearly 15 years ago when he received The X Factor. On Thursday, Joe McElderry posted a glimpse of his luxury life on Instagram as he hit Barbados' beach. The singer, 31, is the latest celebrity to take a holiday to the Caribbean island, including music mogul Simon Cowell.

With the show's first night on February 1, she has received rave reviews for her role as a gruesome housewife in the play 2:22 A Ghost Novel. And Cheryl has come a long way from her days on television to chairing the West End stage in what has been hailed as her career's comeback. Cheryl, 39, has worn many hats over the years, from beginning as one fifth of Girls Aloud to later breaking out as a solo artist and TV judge.

In a throwback picture shared on Instagram on Monday, Joe McElderry looked unrecognizable dressed as Madonna. On her Blonde Ambition tour in 1989, the former X Factor star, 31, was toting a blonde wig with a copy of her iconic Jean Paul Gaultier conical corset. Joe wore a slick of bright pink lipstick and a microphone pinned to his cheek. He cinched in his waist with a tight white belt, clutching one hand on his hip.

The winners of Tatler's annual school awards have been announced. Sir Richard Branson's former secondary Stowe was named the best public school (left), by the British society bible, while Abberley Hall, Worcester, where parents pay £6,540 a term, was given the award for best preparation (right). When Stowe graced our TV screens as one of the most picturesque period settings in the hit Netflix drama Bridgerton, it piqued the public's curiosity. Meanwhile, Eastbourne College, on the south coast of England, was named as the best 'Eco Warrior' in honor of its environmentally sustainable initiatives (bottom inset). The list of nominees for Tatler Schools Awards 2023, which was packed with world-class educational organizations for children aged four to 18, revealed last month, and many of them came with eye-watering fees.

The society bible has announced the nominees for Tatler Schools 2023, which is packed with world-class educational institutions for children aged four to 18, and, strangely, most come with eye-watering fees. A few places on the list include a "forest academy," eye-opening trips to Normandy, and Michelin-trained chefs' meals, as well as one that offers rifle lessons. Meanwhile, several universities boast a distinguished alumni, ranging from Tony Blair to former Poet Laureate Andrew Motion and Coldplay front man Chris Martin. FEMAIL reveals the schools that have been nominated by Tatler as the best in the class. XX is a X on X, from top left to right. The XX is from left to right in this image.

If The X Factor returns to screens, Joe McElderry has expressed concern that it might provide more of a "secure space" for contestants. Since bosses and Channel 5 announced a new series, it was expected that the singing sensation would make a comeback. Joe, who won the show in 2009, said that the X Factor and other similar shows have a long way to go before they are making positive environments for artists.
