Chico (1) -

Chico, or Jousef Slimani, a former stripper rose to fame in 2005, as part of ITV's talent show, the X Factor. Although the weakest singer of the finalists, Chico nonetheless won over both the judges and fans affections with his cheeky attitude and energetic dancing. This not only netted him a huge fanbase (just in time for Christmas) but also made him one of the year's unpredicted success stories.
