Binman Andy Abraham is a 41 year old family man. He currently lives in London with his wife Denise and two kids 10-year-old Tara and Jacob, eight.

Singing hasn’t always been his only dream though, as a school boy Andy fantasised about being a famous footballer or singer. It looks like at least one of those dreams is about to come true!

Andy is no stranger to singing and recording. In 2001, Andy appeared in and came second on the ITV1 talent show This Is My Moment, hosted by former Spice Girl Mel B. He also sang as backing singer for fellow contestant Brenda Edwards a few years ago.

UPDATE
Andy made it to the final of the X factor 2005 and came second place to Shayne Ward. On the night he sang O Holy Night, Mrs Jones and When a Man Loves A Woman .
