Sam Callahan hopes The X Factor will take him places but it may prove harder than getting naked and taking a skinny dip

Singer Sam Callahan auditioned for The X Factor this year with the hope that he could take his music career to the next level if he can have a long successful run on the show.

However, the 19-year-old from Essex has already released his first single called Runaway and listing to the track we can see that this young man has what it takes to go all the way in this season of The X Factor.

Recently, Sam took time out from his music to get naked in public. No! no!, he wasn’t streaking, but skinning tipping for charity, despite warnings from the council of being arrested if he did so in the lake in the local park.

However, Sam went ahead regardless as you can see from the pictures below and raised money for the charity closest to his heart, Teenage Cancer Trust.

This initiative was just one of 15 crazy stunts the teenage singer has carried out to raise money for the Trust. From sky diving to morris dancing, Sam travelled the length and breadth of the country this year risking life and limb for a very worthy cause.

However, he may find that winning The X Factor, may prove to be his biggest challenge yet.
