Scarlett Lee (born 20 September 1997)[1] is an English singer. In 2018, she finished as runner-up in the fifteenth series of The X Factor.[2] She also competed in the fourteenth series and reached the six chair challenge, but failed to proceed further.[3]

Career

2017–2018: The X Factor

Lee first auditioned for The X Factor in 2017, where she reached the six-chair challenge in the girls category.[3] She was briefly given a seat by her mentor Sharon Osbourne after her performance of "Without You" by David Guetta and Usher, but was later sent home after a dramatic sing-off between her and eventual finalists Rai-Elle Williams and Alisah Bonaobra, during which she sang "The Power of Love" by Jennifer Rush.[3]

Lee re-auditioned for The X Factor in 2018. She performed her own original song "Survival", but was stopped by Simon Cowell, who was unimpressed with the song.[4] As Cowell urged her to use her performance to convince the audience to root for her, she performed a cover of Loren Allred's "Never Enough" which earned her four yes votes from the judges.[4] She successfully made it past bootcamp and the six-chair challenge to judges' houses in the girls category, mentored by Cowell. She was then chosen by Cowell for the live shows.

In the quarter-final's results, after the elimination of Bella Penfold and Shan Ako, she became the last act in the girls' category. She finished the competition as the runner-up.[5]

2019–present: Upcoming music

Lee began 2019 by performing at Derby Festival and Pride in Aberdeen.[4] In an interview with the Daily Mirror, Lee confirmed that she is working on an album, and has plans to release a plus-size clothing range.[4]

In 2022 Lee signed her first Record Deal with 11/11 Records.

On 26 August 2022, Lee released her debut single "Love Shy".

Also on 25th November 2022, Lee released her first ever Christmas Song Entitled "My Christmas Wish"

Personal life

Lee, a British Romany, was born on 20 September 1997 in Surrey, England. Before The X Factor, Lee worked as a makeup artist.[3] During The X Factor, Lee was involved in a fire, when her brother's caravan set alight. Lee was in the neighbouring caravan at the time, and was later taken into hospital.[6][7] In January 2019, Lee became engaged to childhood sweetheart Nathan Shaw, [8] and they married in Christ Church Epsom Common on 30 August 2019.
