Former X Factor runner up, Andy Abraham, has decided to give up on his musical career.

Abraham funded his entry into the Eurovision Song Contest earlier this year with his single, ‘Even If’, but was humiliated after finishing in last place with just 14 points.

He has decided that he will now concentrate on a career as a property developer.

“He was absolutely gutted at the result,” a source told the Daily Star Sunday. “He said he felt he had put in the ‘performance of his life’, so to be given ‘nul points’ by 22 countries was humiliating, especially after he staked in a large amount of his own cash.

“The result was both a personal and financial blow and as a result Handy Andy has decided to turn his hand to property developing. He’s got a few properties he’s working on at the moment. It’s not a great economic climate – but it’s marginally better than the music industry.”
