X Factor star Kye Sones unrecognisable with celebrity friend Fearne Cotton - over a decade later
Former X Factor contestant Kye Sones, who participated in the show's 2012 season, has undergone a remarkable transformation and is now a successful songwriter and musician. Despite finishing in eighth place during his time on the show, Kye has since achieved significant success in the music industry.
After his X Factor journey, Kye ventured into the world of songwriting and performing. He has gained recognition as a BRIT-nominated songwriter and provides live vocals for Lost Frequencies. He has also developed a strong network of famous friends, including Denise Van Outen, Michelle Heaton, AJ Odudu, and Gok Wan, who follow him on social media. Presenter Fearne Cotton even shared a birthday post celebrating Kye's special day back in 2023. The post featured joyful selfies of the two together, indicating a close friendship between them. Kye is godfather to Fearne's son Rex.
She wrote in her caption: "Happy birthday @kyesones. Here's to another year of making your dreams come true, travelling to new places (literally and metaphorically), and making incredible music. We love you to the moon Kyesta."

Kye's journey after The X Factor has been marked by impressive achievements. He released his debut EP titled Seven in 2013, which reached the second position on the iTunes chart. He collaborated with artists like Gabrielle Aplin and Iain James.
Kye has also made a mark in the music industry by writing and producing music for television shows, advertisements, and apps. He has also been involved in creating dance tracks for well-known record labels like Ultra Records and Hospital Records.
In early 2023 Fearne took to Instagram to send a defiant message to trolls, telling them that discussions regarding her body are off limits. The star explained how she felt as though “something had to be said” after social media users began judging her appearance after she posted a selfie.
“Sometimes I think, I can't be a***d to respond to the insane amounts of noise on here, but when it comes to judging bodies I feel something has to be said,” she wrote. “Online arguments or discussions around what bodies look like (see my last post) are not helpful. If we are judging other peoples bodies or making accusations we are driving a narrative that women have to look a certain way to be accepted. This sort of attention is not cast upon men, ever.”
She added: “No matter what my size, pregnant or other wise, I have knobbly knees and spindly ankles.”
