X Factor alum looks completely different after 15 years since appearing on the ITV show.

Lucie Jones has come a long way since her days on The X Factor. The 33-year-old Welsh singer first captured the hearts of audiences when she appeared on Simon Cowell's talent show in 2009. Despite finishing in eighth place, she went on to have a successful career in the West End, most recently playing Elphaba Thropp in Wicked in 2022.

It's hard to believe that it has been 15 years since Lucie's time on The X Factor, as she now looks completely unrecognisable from her younger self. This was evident as she attended the premiere of Wicked on Monday, where she rubbed shoulders with other celebrities like Jonathan Bailey, Ariana Grande, and Cynthia Erivo.

Lucie stunned in a stylish black suit with silver embroidery, and her bold green eyeshadow paid homage to the Wicked theme. She even got to pose for a group shot with the stars of the film, including Ariana Grande herself.

Playing Elphaba in Wicked has been a dream come true for Lucie, who has wanted the role since she was just 12 years old. But her success on the West End stage doesn't stop there, as she has also had roles in Les Miserables and Legally Blonde.

In addition to her impressive theatre career, Lucie also represented the UK in Eurovision in 2017, performing her song "Never Give Up on You." Although the UK didn't come in first place, Lucie still received a lot of support and messages of encouragement from fans and fellow celebrities.

It's not just her professional life that has blossomed since her X Factor days. In 2017, Lucie married her now-husband Ethan Boroian, whom she met during the boot camp stage of the competition. They had stayed in touch and eventually went on their first date five years later.

Reflecting on her time on The X Factor, Lucie has fond memories and is grateful for the opportunities it has brought her. However, she also acknowledges the challenges and pressure that came with being on a televised talent show, particularly during the Brexit referendum.

Despite any setbacks, Lucie remains positive and continues to thrive in her career and personal life. She is grateful for the support she has received from fans and the celebrity community, and is excited for what the future holds.
