X  Factor contestant is hoping to make show history by becoming the youngest person ever to make it into the shows final and also the first Irish person.

Speaking to the Belfast Telegraph, Eoghan Quigg explained: "If I make it through I will be the youngest ever person in the final and the first Irish person to make the final so I’m nearly making history right now.

"I hope afterwards I get a record deal and people will see my album and go ‘there’s Eoghan Quigg’s album’ and buy it."

Our very own Gerard may not be backing Eoghan to win this series, but speaking as a female and a mum, I would have no problem with Eoghan making it all the way through the competition.
