X Factor's Janet Devlin looks completely different now as tattooed bikini babe

Most will remember Janet Devlin from back in 2011, when she made her X Factor debut as a fresh-faced teen.

Aged 16 at the time, the X Factor star wowed the judges in her first audition in 2011 with a spine-tingling rendition of Ellie Goulding’s Our Song.

Now aged 25, the stunning songstress looks completely different today, with flowing red locks and a string of delicate tattoos.

On Instagram, she regularly shares post-workout selfies in cropped sports bras and gym gear.

Born in Gortin, Northern Ireland, she likes to head out for runs in the lush Irish countryside, or take on the weight machines at the gym.

Thanks to her healthy lifestyle, her gym-honed abs and fit physique are on full display in her many bikini pics.

Janet is also a fan of tattoos – one of her largest is a sleek sketch of a horse’s skeleton, galloping along her forearm.

In the comments under her photos, fans of her music can’t get over how much she’s grown up since her reality TV days.

One said: “How different do you look. I mean, absolutely stunning.”

A second added: “Killer abs there Janet.”

While a third chipped in: “Strikingly beautiful and unbelievably talented!”

After she won over judges Tulilsa, Louis Walsh and Kelly Rowland and Gary Barlow, Kelly was chosen as her trusty mentor.

Finishing in fifth place, Janet went on to release two albums and toured across the world with her breathtaking singing voice.

Working with major acts like Newton Faulkner and Jack Savoretti, her growing fanbase proudly refer to themselves as The Devlinlators.

Janet still has a large online following, boasting 124,000 Instagram followers.

The star has hit headlines in the last few years as she opened up about her alcohol addiction, self-harm and depression issues in a frank interview.

Janet previously revealed she was self-harming by the age of 12, and also battled an eating disorder at the age of 15.

She then went on to struggle with alcohol addiction and even attempted suicide in more recent years.

Talking to The Sun, recently, she said: “I didn’t realise that people didn’t wake up and think about killing themselves.

“As I was doing my make-up, I’d be thinking about it.

“It wasn’t until someone made me question my own inner thoughts when I realised.”
