“I’ve been working on an absolute movie, so here’s a couple reactions from my people. How's it sounding?”.

Wes first showcased his incredible vocal skills on X Factor Celebrity last year when he entered the talent competition with the Love Island band No Love Lost.

Just three months after appearing on the show, the band which was made up of Zara McDermott, Eyal Booker, and Samira Mighty, announced their split as Wes went solo.
