SINGER and actor Ray Quinn looked very different from his X Factor days as he celebrated his stag do in Dublin.<\/p>\n

The multi-talented star, who first found fame as a child star in Merseyside soap Brookside, now has a thick beard and long hair<\/span> worn in a ponytail.<\/p>\n

Ray, 35, looked to have had a blast as he visited the famous Temple Bar for a pint of Guinness<\/span>, which he duly sank, and UFC<\/span> icon Conor McGregor's The Black Forge.<\/p>\n

He posed outside the bar and restaurant with his fists up before wearing a UFC belt inside. He also did his best impression of restaurateur Salt Bae.<\/p>\n

Sharing pictures from the weekend on Instagram<\/span>, Ray wrote: "Stag do. What a boss time it was..with all the boys in Dublin, pint of Guinness and a UFC belt to boot.. loved every minute.. still feeling it but memories to last a lifetime.. nice<\/span> one boys."<\/p>\n

Among his friends was Shane Nolan, the son of Coleen Nolan and Shane Richie.<\/p>\n

The former Hollyoaks actor turned his attention to the family carpet fitting trade months after his dad died of cancer.<\/p>\n

He told\u00a0OK! magazine: "My dad was a carpet fitter all his life. He taught my brothers how to do it.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

"When I first started, I actually went to work in my dad\u2019s old uniform. He\u2019d \u00adalways said you can work your way out of anything; to keep your head up high \u2013 and that\u2019s what I\u2019ve done."<\/p>\n

Ray famously appeared on the X Factor in 2006 finishing second to Leona Lewis. He still performs to this day and specialises in the swing style.<\/p>\n

He had another successful brush with reality TV in 2009 when he won Dancing On Ice. Five years later he went on to win an All Stars edition of the show, cementing himself as a skating superstar.<\/p>\n
