Lucy Spraggan first burst onto the scene as the straight-talking, guitar-wielding songwriter on The X Factor, making history as the first contestant to land both a Top 40 single and album before the live shows had even begun.
Since then, she has carved out a career defined by honesty, resilience, and authenticity. Unafraid to lift the lid on the realities of life behind the cameras, she has spoken candidly about the pressures of the industry, her journey with sobriety, and the challenges of living in the public eye. Along the way, she has become a powerful voice for the LGBTQ+ community, using her platform to inspire others by standing firmly in her truth and consistently wearing her heart on her sleeve.
