X Factor's Nicholas living the dream as he heads home for Lanarkshire show

Nicholas shot to fame after finishing runner-up to Sam Bailey in series 10 of the competition in 2013.

Brought up in Wishaw, the 28-year-old still lives in North Lanarkshire but spends much of his time all over Britain and Europe, amassing over a hundred live performances each year.

He is now bringing his full-band show to Airdrie Town Hall this Saturday, June 28, for his first and possibly only performance in Lanarkshire this year.

Nicholas played Hamilton Town Hall last year and followed that up by appearing at NHS Lanarkshire's awards ceremony in October last year, dedicating the performance to staff who cared for him.

He suffered a cardiac arrest while playing football in East Kilbride at 10 years old and, following tests, was diagnosed with Long QT syndrome.
