X Factor hopeful Mike Hough confesses to losing out on MOBO award to Adele in 2011
X FACTOR hopeful Mike Hough is no stranger to success – and previously lost out on a MOBO award to Adele in 2011.
Before auditioning for the ITV show on Saturday, the singer has enjoyed a brief taste of the high life after independently releasing a single five years ago.
Talking about almost making it, Mike told host Dermot O’Leary: “I’ve always got close but never made it.
“When I was younger I started out singing on YouTube and then in 2011 I released an independent single.
“I got nominated for a MOBO award for Best UK R&B/Soul Act and I lost out to Adele – that’s my claim to fame!
“I love her and she can have it… I’ll happily tell people she won it.”
Moving on from his MOBO nomination, Mike is now hoping to go all the way on the the X Factor.
He added: “I love the show and I’m a fan of the show and it’s always been a dream.
“I’m a part-time musician and I want to make it full time and make it my life.”
