Win the chance to be part of The X Factor’s 5AM with our nationwide competition — judged by Matt Terry, Sinitta and Dan Wootton
THEY sang in front of 80,000 fans at Wembley, performed at Dolce & Gabbana fashion bashes and jetted around Europe during a whirlwind year after coming third on The X Factor in 2016.
But the future of boyband 5AM has been thrown into doubt since KIERAN ALLEYNE quit last month after they were dropped by X Factor boss SIMON COWELL’s label Syco.
Today, Bizarre is coming to their rescue by launching a nationwide talent search to replace Kieran — and it could be YOU.
It’s easy to enter.
Eighties pop legend SINITTA, X Factor 2016 winner MATT TERRY and I will run the rule over the hopefuls and help find the lucky lad who will help propel 5AM back to the big time alongside remaining members NATHAN LEWIS and JORDAN LEE.
Nathan said: “We’re really glad Bizarre are helping. We can’t wait to meet potential talent. We trust you, Dan, to help find the right person.”
Sinitta is confident she can use her experience on The X Factor as a Judges’ Houses guest mentor. She said: “I’m so excited — 5AM are really talented. There’s an opportunity to do something different so I don’t think we should necessarily try to find a Kieran lookalike.
“We should find the most talented young guy out there. The Sun’s Bizarre column is the home of everything going on in showbiz and Dan is very supportive of young talent.
“I’m looking for personality — somebody who is likeable and who you can’t take your eyes off.”
Nathan is hopeful the band can get back on track with The Sun’s help. He said: “When any door closes, another opens.”
For the first time, he and band- mate Jordan have opened up about Kieran’s departure — and insist it was a group decision.
Nathan said: “We spoke about it, the three of us. We both knew he wanted to do his own thing and we wanted to carry on the band. It was a mutual decision to split, we all wanted different things.”
But the biggest shock was being dropped by Syco. Nathan added: “We were caught off-guard. But we knew we wanted to carry on making music — we love performing and dancing.”
Despite throwing open their bandmate search, Nathan and Jordan have an idea what they are looking for. Jordan said: “We still want to be urban but classy.
