The singer, who shot to fame on Brookside in 2000, placed second on the third series of the ITV show in 2006.
After his stint on the X Factor, Ray released his debut album , Doing It My Way, which peaked at number one.
Over the years he’s appeared in various TV shows and released more music.
But nowadays he does a more ‘normal’ job – and enjoys filming TikToks with his fiancée Emily Fletcher.
The pair – who have been together since 2017 – have a joint account where they share snippets of their life together.
In a recent post, the two cut some shapes and captioned the post: “Home after Date night.. Happy Saturday.”
Some thought that Ray looked different to his X Factor days and shared their confusion on the comments section.
One asked: “Wait is this Ray Quinn from X factor uk.”
Another pointed out: “It’s ray.”
“Oh wow !! It is him,” a third chimed in.
Ray and Emily got together after his split from ex-wife Emma Stephens.
The former couple – who share a son – were together between 2012 and 2015.
This time last year Ray and Ashley, who got engaged in 2020, announced the birth of their first child.
Ray has had a very successful career over the years.
Two years after his tour following on from his X Factor success, he took part in the fourth series of Dancing on Ice.
Over the years Ray has appeared in various West End productions.
He also landed a role as Jonny Baxter in Hollyoaks in 2018.
Following on from that he released his second album – Undeniable – in 2020.
However, during the coronavirus pandemic, his work dried up and started working as a delivery man.
Ray now works with his family as a carpenter.
