Harry worked at the W Mandeville Bakery in Holmes Chapel after school and on the weekends. He appeared to be accustomed to shoveling as he frequently worked the stables.

Harry participated in the seventh season of "The X Factor" in 2010 when he was 16 years old, singing "Isn't she wonderful" by Stevie Wonder as his audition song. Despite having a ton of star power, he was eliminated before the finals as they made us believe.
