Austin Drage - X Factor 2008

When the first pictures were released of Austin Drage’s X Factor makeover, the lad was hardly recognisable from the trendy boy we saw auditioning for the show.

The new look wasn’t very popular with our readers and it seems that Austin didn’t think much of it either.

In an interview with ITV.com Austin stated:

“I think I’m going to leave the Duran Duran-type haircut behind now and go back to being me. People seemed to like me better when I was more myself up there!”

Good idea Austin!
