It has been more than ten years since Wagner Carrilho first appeared on our screens, and now he is back with a completely new look. In 2010, the Brazilian vocalist, who was then living in the West Midlands, auditioned on the reality singing competition with a memorable performance of ‘O sole mio. At first, he was not accepted, but was given a second chance and later selected for the Over 28s category mentored by Louis Walsh. He gained a great deal of admirers for mixing classic songs such as She Bangs and Love Shack, and made it to the quarter finals until finally being eliminated. Although we have had updates from him in recent years, he is now located back in Brazil and has had an unexpected career transformation as he revealed during an appearance on This Morning on Friday.

He explained that his change of style was inspired by a visit to a hair transplant business. Host Dermot O’Leary indicated that Wagner had experienced two hair transplants in the past. Wagner then went on to say, ‘I became very good friends with a hair clinic owner, and he offered to open a clinic in the northeast of Brazil where I was born. He's from Iceland and has 40 clinics around the world in places like Nigeria, America, Dubai also around Brazil in Rio and Sao Paulo and Brasilia. He asked if I wanted to open one and I said “yes yes”.’
Recalling the time when he needed to find a new job during the pandemic, Wagner explained that he wanted a business that would ‘work for me’.
