Ever wondered what was beyond the blue horizon for Rhiannon? Season 2 of X Factor Malta, that’s what. Will the glamorous singer-songwriter stun us all with her live vocals this year?

A familiar face from last year, Dan arrived at his audition the day after his wedding – talk about commitment. He made it through to the judge’s houses round but had to withdraw due to conflicts with his honeymoon dates. He’s back this year to give it his all, and now that he’s already married we can’t see any reason he won’t be making it all the way through to the finals!
