‘The X Factor’ Fitties Hall of Fame: Shayne Ward

By Josh Haggis

To celebrate the return of The X Factor, we’re taking a look back at some of the best talent the show’s had to offer over the last decade.

And in this case, talent means attractive young men – not Leona and her admittedly incredible voice.

First up in our X Factor Fitties Hall of Fame we had cheeky chappy Olly Murs, then handsome Welshman Andy Williams, followed by clothes-shy Sam Callahan, and hunky Joseph Whelan. 

Next up we have Shayne Ward, who rose to fame after winning the second series of the singing contest in 2005. The Manchester lad became one of the more successful X Factor champs, going on to release three albums before appearing on ITV’s Dancing on Ice last year.

Take a look at some of his hottest moments below, including some pictures from his ‘Naked Issue’ shoot with Attitude.
