Liam was just 14 when he first tried his luck on the ITV singing show in 2008.

It was also his first encounter with Cheryl Cole, who he went on to welcome son Bear seven years ago.

As this unearthed clip shows, baby-faced Liam told the X Factor cameras: “When I’m at school, in general, I think about singing all the time.

“I should really be concentrating on my school work but I just think about singing too much.”

He is then shown introducing himself to judges Simon Cowell, Louis Walsh and Cheryl.

“A lot of people say I’m a good singer and I’ve got The X Factor but I don’t really know what The X Factor is and I believe you guys do.”

Liam wowed the three judges with a rendition of Fly Me To The Moon, by jazz crooner Frank Sinatra.

Once he had performed, music mogul Simon told him: “I’m just missing a bit of grit, a bit of emotion and actually a bit of fun, funnily enough.”

Smiling, Cheryl said: “I liked it. I think you’re really cute. I think you’ve got charisma.. you gave us that cheeky little wink.”

Agreeing, Louis added: “I think this kid could do fantastic in the show.”
