New Love Island boy Luke Trotman's mum was on The X Factor
She made it all the way to the live shows!
Viewers were given the first glimpse of him on last night's show, but Love Island newbie Luke Trotman will enter the villa tonight (Thursday 23rd January), taking two girls on a romantic date.
And whilst Luke is a semi-professional footballer and student, the 22-year-old from Luton has been on TV before... supporting his mum Beverly when she appeared on The X Factor!
Beverly appeared on the popular show way back in 2007, and she made it all the way to the live shows with Dannii Minogue, Sharon Osbourne, Louis Walsh and Simon Cowell on the judging panel at the time.
Speaking about his 'claim to fame', Luke told Love Island producers, "My mum was on The X Factor in 2007. She’s called Beverley Trotman and came sixth so I appeared on TV cheering her on in the audience."
Luke later revealed his mum is now in the famous Kindgdom Choir, adding, "She’s done a few musicals and she’s in the Kingdom Choir now… but she didn’t perform at Meghan and Harry’s wedding."
Check out Beverly's performance of 'Feeling Good' on The X Factor back in 2007:
Meanwhile, viewers will see Luke arrive into the South African villa tonight, with the girls set to host an arrival party for the semi-pro footballer, and other new bombshell Luke Mabbott.
Luke T doesn't waste any time in getting to know the girls, immediately asking the group who is in couples... and Finlay Tapp's answer leaves Lewis Capaldi's ex-girlfriend Paige Turley fuming! 🙈
