9 times reality stars have tried to make it as a singer – from Megan McKenna to Joey Essex
REALITY stars have taken over TV as we know.
But not content with being just big on the box, they are now venturing into the world of music....
Megan McKenna
Megan is clearly the Queen of Reality TV.
But she is now is perusing her "real dream" of becoming a singer.
And she has done very well so far - she topped the iTunes chart.
The reality babe showcased her voice on her show There's Something About Megan and has proved a big hit in the charts.
Jess Wright
Towie star Jess has been on the show since the start where she revealed her ambition to be a singer, with her brother Mark even managing her girl group Lola.
But after ditching the band, she he signed a three-single record deal with All Around the World in 2012.
She later went to Marbella to film the music video for her debut single Dance All Night which was released in September that same year and peaked at number 36 on the UK Singles Chart.
Jess then released her second single Dominoes in February 2013 but it failed to make the Top 100 of the UK Singles Chart, but did chart on the UK Official Dance Chart at number 36.
Holly Hagan
In 2014 the then Geordie Shore babe Holly decided to try her and at music.
With no previous experience she decided to release Kelis' 2003 hit Milkshake.
Unfortunately her remake of the song failed to chart.
Chanelle Hayes
Following off the back of her fame from Big Brother in 2007, Chanelle released I Want It in May, 2008.
Unfortunately that was when her pop career started and stopped.
The song entered the official UK singles chart at Number 63.
She never released an album.
Heidi Montag
Heidi is well known for being a reality TV regular - having kicked started her career on The Hills and also several stints on Celebrity Big Brother.
In 2009 Heidi enlisted songwriter Cathy Dennis to help her work on her debut album.
In 2010 she released her album Superficial, but since then she's literally dropped the mic.
Joey Essex
When Joey burst on to the seen in Towie in 2011 he was known for his catchphrase "Reem".
His fans went nuts for it, so not one to miss an opportunity, he recorded a song named after his favourite word.
But unfortunately (or fortunately) Reem never made it into the UK charts.
He hasn't released anything since.
Gabriella Ellis
Brown haired beauty Gabriella began her road to fame and fortune on Made In Chelsea.
She used the show as a platform to show off her singing talents.
She went on to have a number 1 hit single in Greece with Hit The Road Jack
Andy Jordan
Another Made In Chelsea alum who wanted to be part of the music business was Andy Jordan.
The handsome posh boy often performed on the show too.
He has since said he regrets being on MIC, and instead focused on being a singer.
Andy exclusively told The Sun Online: “In hindsight I wish I hadn’t done it the way I have, I wish I had never gone on at all.
“When I left TV I didn’t really want to be on TV, I just wanted to write music. In London it is hard because there is so many things distracting you.”
In 2013 Andy released his debut single Whole Lot of Water which reached 71 in the charts
Kim Kardashian
Finally we can't forget Kim Kardashian.
Her husband made me a global megastar thanks to his career but this good luck didn't rub off on his wife.
The reality superstar released Jam (Turn It Up) in 2011 but failed to enter the US Billboard Hot 100.
