Portrush man Roger's second X Factor bid
Portrush man Roger Boyd is hoping it will be second time lucky after getting through to the boot camp stage of this year's X Factor.
The local singer previously reached the boot camp stage of the high-profile TV talent show in 2011, but failed to progress any further that year.


On Saturday night, Roger made a second stab at impressing judges Simon Cowell, Nicole Scherzinger, Sharon Osbourne and Louis Walsh.
He was rewarded with a place in the next phase of the ITV show, and will be hoping to make it to the later stages of the competition and be in with a chance of scooping the winner’s recording contract prize.
