The Wanted star and former Strictly Come Dancing champion Jay McGuiness finds new career success away from boyband fame


The singer, 34, was part of the band alongside Max George, Siva Kaneswaran, Tom Parker, and Nathan Sykes, which produced number one hits like Glad You Came and All Time Low.

Since The Wanted went on hiatus a decade ago, Jay McGuiness has found success in a whole new career industry, a world away from his pop star days (seen in April) According to Waterstones, the young adult series is 'a story of love, witchcraft, betrayal and murder', which focuses on themes of poverty, class divide and addiction. The Wanted released a greatest hits album in 2021 and performed a one-off show that same year, before they went on tour in early 2022, which ended just two weeks before Tom's death.
