Back in September 2017, two unknown Irish brothers wowed millions of viewers with their performances on X Factor.

Blessington brothers Sean and Conor Price nailed their audition with an updated version of Bob Dylan's 'All Along The Watchtower', where Conor's powerful vocal and Sean's sick rap had the judges in the palm of their hands.

Here's a refresher for ya:

The two lads were favourites from the start but were knocked out in the quarter-finals in a shock double elimination.

Speaking on Dermot and Dave's #AskMeAnything the bros revealed what it is really like to be part of the anomaly that is X Factor.

From navigating their way through a sh*tload of auditions and having their song changed a couple of days before the live shows to being treated like superstars and advised to not 'hook-up' with other contestants - it sure was a whole new ball game.

The lads also chat about how Conor being 15 (at the time), and a chicken curry, helped them survive the dreaded Six-Chair Challenge, try to explain the buzz of doing fourteen arena gigs on the X Factor Live Tour and tell us how sound Simon Cowell is, "his real-life persona is...he's a nice man. He's very honest".

You can check out a list of Sean and Conor's 2019 tour dates here and have a listen to their new track 'Storm' (which was this week's Homegrown Hero on Dermot and Dave) by clicking here.
