Who is Craig Colton?
Craig Colton stormed into the nation’s hearts on Saturday night when
he auditioned for The X Factor with an impressive version of Adele's
Hiding My Heart.
The bubbly 22 year old, whose parents were in the audience at the
auditions but had no idea their son was taking part, blew the judges
away, but he has revealed that he didn’t stick around to watch his
moment of glory.
Instead, Craig headed out for a night out in his native Liverpool,
expecting to go unnoticed – big mistake boy!
He said: “the show aired Saturday and I decided to go out Saturday
night which was absolutely manic in Liverpool.
“I thought nobody would no who I was – how wrong was I?!”
Since the show aired, Craig has become one of the most talked about
contestants so far and he has even won the backing of another famous
Liverpudlian X Factor star – Rebecca Ferguson.
“The 48 hours since the show has just been brilliant and I got
support from Rebecca Ferguson who I’m a massive fan of,” delighted
Craig explained.
He now has his own dedicated army of fans who are calling themselves
the Coltonators, a phenomenon he described as “bizarre but
brilliant.”
Like all of the hopefuls, Craig dreams of making it to the live
shows as he admits just performing on the same stage as so many
music legends would simply be amazing.
His final message for fans? “Keep watching, it gets better…."
