Black Country teenager reaches latter stages of X Factor
A Black Country teenager is setting his sights on next year's X Factor after making it through to the latter stages of this year's competition.
Keegan Hammond, aged 18, from Bridgeside Close, Walsall Wood, reached the last 25 of this year's boot camp stage but fell short.
Now the former Shire Oak pupil has said he wants to try again, and revealed he could be joining a boy band on the recommendation of Simon Cowell.
He said: "It was a very very good experience. You meet lots of people and it is a real competition even though you get along with them really well. I am going to keep going for it but I might be joining a boy band as Simon Cowell recommended it for me.
"I'm in contact with a band from Bristol who I met at the competition. We had a sing-along and really enjoyed it so that is an option.
"As I was on my way out after I had been told I had not made it Louis told me I was still really young so I should try again."
