It seems as Mark Byron has a bit of a reality TV streak in him as this video of him auditioning for The X Factor show.

He auditioned in front of Gary Barlow, Kelly Rowland, Louis Walsh and Tulisa, with an out of tune rendition of Rihanna's Only Girl In The World. After getting 4 No votes Mark vowed to 'leave the country!'

Mark was booted out the Big Brother house on Friday in a surprise double eviction with Winston.

But The X Factor isn't all Mark's tried his hand at; he also starred in Channel 4's Shipwrecked when he was 18. Check out his intro here!
