Get ready for some exciting news from one of The X Factor's former contestants! Holly Tandy, who appeared on the show in 2017 and was mentored by Sharon Osbourne, has just announced a major life event. At the young age of 15, Holly wowed audiences with her powerful voice and made it all the way to the live shows before finishing in seventh place. Now in her twenties, Holly has transformed into a glam and confident woman, regularly sharing snippets of her life on social media, including her travels, fashion choices, and relationship with her 91,000 followers on Instagram.
After four years of dating, Holly's boyfriend Lewis Akeister proposed to her during a romantic trip to Santorini, Greece, just after her 23rd birthday. The beautiful moment was captured in a video, showing Lewis getting down on one knee in front of a breathtaking sunset. Overwhelmed with emotion, Holly couldn't contain her tears and fell to the ground as Lewis waited for her answer. With her followers eagerly waiting for an update, Holly shared the happy news that she said yes and will soon become Mrs. Akeister.
The engagement announcement was met with an outpouring of love and support from fans and old X Factor friends, including former host Dermot O'Leary and contestant Emily Middlemas. Since her time on the show, Holly has continued to pursue her passion for music, performing at local events and sharing her powerful vocals on YouTube. In 2018, she also took on the role of Dorothy in a stage production of The Wizard of Oz and was a finalist in the UK's Eurovision Song Contest selection process in 2019.
In 2021, Holly decided to make a career change and joined Haus Properties in Yorkshire. She also dabbled in presenting, creating social media content for Barnsley FC. With her growing influence, Holly has become a fashion and beauty influencer, sharing her love for travel and sunny destinations with her followers. She's even had the chance to meet some A-list celebrities, including Harry Styles and Henry Cavill.
During her time on The X Factor, Holly received high praise from judge Nicole Scherzinger for her "big voice." Her first audition, where she impressed the judges with her cover of Alicia Keys' "If I Ain't Got You," is a moment that will be remembered for years to come. Sadly, her grandad, David Tandy, who was a big supporter of her musical journey, passed away in 2023. Holly paid tribute to him on social media, thanking The X Factor team for making his experience so special and acknowledging how much her journey meant to him.
