X Factor star Zoe Alexander looks totally different years after her show-stopping ITV audition.
The star, who was working as a P!nk tribute act at the time of her audition back in 2012, is well-remembered for unleashing an explicit rant at the judges, before yanking off her microphone and tossing it off the stage.
Lastly, Zoe lashed out at a cameraman on the set.

Remembered for her striking resemblance to P!nk, Zoe was seen with cropped blonde curls at her audition as she belted out her rendition of So What – before being forced to change her song to Emeli Sandé’s hit Next to Me.

However, since leaving the show, Zoe has undergone a complete transformation, and spoken out to explain her side of the story – claiming “something wasn’t right” during her audition process.
Now Zoe looks completely different, swapping out her P!nk-inspired hairstyle for long strawberry blonde tresses and embracing her natural beauty.
In one snap, the songstress could be seen with a swipe of bright red lipstick applied to her pout as she framed her baby blues with huge lashes to peer at the camera.

Sharing her story in a TikTok, Zoe explained that walking on stage for her audition was “like looking into the faces of four executioners” as she faced Gary Barlow, Louis Walsh, Nicole Scherzinger and Tulisa Contostavlos.
She also claimed producers had misled her by asking her to sing P!nk songs before the judges told her to “find her own identity”.
Opening up on the trauma she experienced after the show, Zoe claimed to The Tab: “I was recognised everywhere I went; laughed at, pointed at, threatened.

“I was terrified to leave the house, even just standing outside of my front door people would drive by just to stop and stare.”
Now it seems like Zoe is doing a lot better, and has settled down with her husband Johnny – with the pair regularly filming hilarious videos together.
The Tab reported in 2021 that Zoe was studying for a degree in criminal psychology and continues to make music, as well as streaming gaming videos via her YouTube and Twitch channels.
She said: “After spending the last eight years being perceived by the general public as the mentally unstable person from the X Factor, I now have so much support. And that’s going to take a little bit of getting used to.”
However, Ofcom investigated claims at the time and ruled that the programme’s dealings with Zoe were not unfair.
The broadcasting watchdog also ruled that she was not unfairly edited or portrayed unfairly on the ITV show.
Daily Star has contacted Fremantle for comment.
