Joe McElderry - The X Factor. Winning. Losing. Moving On.

Joe McElderry won the X Factor in 2009 when nearly 20 million people watched him take the crown. Within 18 months he had released an album been dropped, been outed as gay and already started making plans to move on, under the unforgiving glare of the media spotlight. Here we talk that journey, the press, body shaming and re-inventing himself as a new type of star.  Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
