Born in 1991, Lucy Jones is a Welsh singer, model and actress who first came to prominence after taking part in the sixth series of The X Factor UK, where she finished eighth.
Mentored by Dannii Minogue, Lucie’s elimination from the show had caused something of a controversy when Simon Cowell decided to side with fellow judge Louis Walsh in eliminating her over fellow contestants John & Edward. Lucie had received the support of Minogue and Cheryl Cole but the 2-2 vote deadlock from the judges meant that the elimination was determined by the popular vote result that evening, which had not favoured the Welsh singer.
Following the X Factor, Lucie got signed up by Select Model Management and did some modelling work as well as endeavouring in a considerable career in musical theatre with parts in shows like Les Misérables, We Will Rock You, and Rent. Acting assignments also saw the young artist taking part in series like British detective drama Midsomer Murders.
Post Eurovision, Lucie carried on with musical theatre and roles in Legally Blonde and Waitress as well as concerts as a singer.
