Shayne Ward narrowly missed out on a place in Phixx when he reached the final thirty of Popstars: The Rivals in 2002.
Steered by pop svengali Louis Walsh, Shayne beat Journey South and Andy Abraham to win the second series of The X Factor.
'That's My Goal' is Shayne's first and only UK Number One. He has had mixed success with his other releases, some being significantly better than others.
According to Gary Barlow's autobiography, Shayne Ward was once considered as the Johnny Shentall to Jason Orange's Kym Marsh when Orange threatened to leave Take That.
That would have been horrible and amazing in equal world-ending proportions, wouldn't it?
After Syco 'reprioritised their roster', Shayne began a stint in West End Show 'Rock Of Ages', with Justin Lee Collins.
