Shayne Ward

Shayne Ward is the winner of X Factor 2005. Since his victory he has achieved unprecedented success: he has entered the Guinness Book of World Records for the most downloaded track in one day, claimed the Christmas No.1 spot, selling over a million records, received a Brit Award nomination, headlined a national tour and completed his platinum-selling debut album. Having recently had career-threatening throat surgery, he is set to return to our screens during X Factor 2006, perform to sell-out crowds on his first solo tour and release his second album in early 2007. He lives in London.
