9 Reality Stars Who Are Despo To Become Popstars

Go on!

It seems like the next step from reality star is to become a popstar. A bunch of them have tried it after all.

From Heidi Montag to Paris Hilton, these TV faces are despo to become the next Beyonce.

1. TOWIE’s Megan McKenna…

We’ve all seen Megan’s 2009 audition from Britain’s Got Talent as half of duet Harmony but she also auditioned for X Factor and Open Mic UK. Plus she’s sang her little heart out whenever she can, from busking in London’s Covent Garden to serenading the cast on TOWIE.

And now she has reportedly landed her own reality show which will follow Meg as she attempts to make it as a country singer in America.

A source told The Sun: “Megan has an incredible voice and singing is her greatest love."

“It’s what she spends her downtime doing away from the cameras and to make it her main career is a dream come true.”

“She’s been a long-time fan of Dolly Parton and loves that kind of country folk music, so it makes sense to go to Nashville to lay down tracks with some of the best in that business to give her the biggest chance of success.”

2. CBB’s Steph Davis…

After trying her hand at acting and reality, Steph has decided to take a crack at singing, uploading a bunch of songs to her SoundCloud and releasing her first track on Twitter. Maybe her and Jez McConnell could be the next Sonny and Cher.

3. TOWIE’s Jess Wright…

Jess Wright’s TOWIE time was all about her journey of attempting to make it as a popstar. First in a band (weirdly with Megan McKenna) and then as a solo artist. Sadly she never hit the big time but we all felt her pain because she WANTED it.

4. The Hills’ Heidi Montag…

Oh Heidi! After The Hills ended, Heidi decided the next step in stardom for her was to conquer the pop charts. She recorded twenty singles, all paid for by her and Spencer Pratt, which massively flopped. But she gave it a great shot.

5. The Simple Life’s Paris Hilton…

We don’t even want to say Paris failed as a popstar because Stars Are Blind was one of the greatest lyrical masterpieces of out time tbh. After gifting us a further eight songs, she gave up her dream to become a DJ. Natch.

6. Real Housewives of New York’s Luann De Lesseps…

The Countess shocked us all when she decided at the age of 45 to make music. It. Was. Bizarre. But also amazing. She sang Money Can’t Buy You Class followed by Chic, C’est La Vie. YES. But also nah because no one cared.

7. CBB’s Bianca Gascoinge…

Bianca dreamed of being a singer when she auditioned for the X Factor back in 2012 but her dreams were crushed when she didn’t make it through. But she proved the musical flame is still lit when she sang in the Celebrity Big Brother house as part of a challenge. Views dubbed in ‘cringe’ so we're guessing she won’t be in the charts any time soon.

8. Vanderpump Rules’ Scheana Shay…

When Vanderpump Rules’ Scheana stepped onto our screens wanting to become the ‘next Britney’ we were pretty sceptical. She may have given the world some catchy songs but she gave up on that dream to start her own YouTube channel and continue being a reality star, obvs. We’re not sure if it’s for the best or not. (It probs is.)

9. Hogan Knows Best’s Brooke Hogan…

Hogan Knows Best was legit the BEST show but it was made even better when Brooke Hogan decided she was going to try and become a singer for quite a lot of episodes. She really gave it a good try and she wasn't actually terrible. Sadly it didn’t work out but we were left with such good memories. Thanks babes.

And becoming a popstar means a heartbreaking reality show exit...
