3-Year-Old Watches Dad's TV Audition, Has Best Response

A 3-year-old has left the internet stitches with her reaction to her dad's X Factor audition from 16 years ago.

Eoghan Quiqq (@eoghanquigg) had his first audition on the U.K. franchise of the popular music talent show in 2008 when he was 15. Quigg appeared rocking a spiky do, reminiscent of the era, of which his daughter did not approve.

"I don't like daddy's hair like that. Jeez Louise I don't like that," the 3-year-old Emmy Belle said as she watched her dad sing "Tears in Heaven" by Eric Clapton before judges Simon Cowell, Cheryl Cole, Dannii Minogue and Louis Walsh, in a TikTok video that garnered 865,700 views and 23,200 likes.

The teenager came in 3rd place, behind boy band JLS and winner Alexandra Burke.

"Everyone back in the day loved the hair," Quigg, 31, told Newsweek.

"Emmy is the most beautiful, caring, funny and brutally honest little girl. She says it how she sees it and I absolutely love that about her," added Quigg who lives in Londonderry, Northern Ireland.

"It was lovely to watch actually, it's crazy to think how quick life passes by. Doesn't seem so long ago when I was on that stage performing to now having my own children and being a dad," Quigg said.

In the video, Emmy can at first be seen staring with utmost concentration at the TV screen.

"What's daddy nervous about?" she asked as her father appeared. Her mom Amy Campbell explained he was nervous because he was going to sing.

"That's not daddy," she said after a momentary pause. "That's your daddy when he as wee," Campbell explained.

After a bit of confusion, the 3-year-old finally concluded: "I don't like that daddy."

Even Betty the dog was not a fan of the performance, according to Emmy.

The cheeky tot then left the room and made the scathing comment about her dad's hair, defiantly closing the door.

"I had so many fond memories of my time on the X Factor, from getting mentored by Simon Cowell, to meeting Beyoncé and singing with Boyzone.

"It really gave me that kick-start in life as I now get to do a lot of things I love.

"We are a family of six so life can be busy at times but I wouldn't have it any other way. I love being a dad it's the best thing in the world," Quigg said.

The musician and radio presenter is also dad to Cooper, 10, Milla, 9 and Camden, 1.

Some commenters online were transported back to the golden age of talent show television and reminisced over their teenage crush.

"In my head Eoghan Quigg is still a teen. It's the Jeez Louise for me , I loved that hair," Gemma said.

"STOP. I'd forgotten about you. I had like 5 of your posters in my bedroom and then met you at Butlins. MY X FACTOR CRUSH," said Courtney Copsey.

"Has Simon been giving her tips? She's adorable and honest," said Lulu.

Eoghan responded: "She's harsher than Simon."
