Other than Olly Murs, has there been a UK XFactor runner-up who has done better than the winner?

Other than Olly Murs, has there been a UK XFactor runner-up who has done better than the winner? He's the only really successful X Factor UK runner up. But they are a rare breed -- Adam and Clay are pretty much it for Idol. Maybe Kat McPhee could be considered more successful than Taylor Hicks but not as a musician/vocalist. Daugherty and Jennifer Hudson did not make it to #2. I find it interesting that the two really successful Idols who did not win (and probably should have won) are both gay. Setting that aside, I have never understood the appeal of Clay as a person or singer but there is no denying he was once very, very popular and his fans were beyond passionate.

Lol Adam! ADAM LAMBERT @adamlambert Congrats on a brilliant run @saaraaalto! Welcome to the runner-ups' club! Haha, awwww, that's so the perfect tweet to Saara. I heart him. I agree. That was a perfect tweet for Adam to send to Saara. Coming in second is nothing to scoff at. Sometimes the BEST come in second!. Not having watched the XF UK, I really didn't get invested emotionally in Saara or any other contestant. She has a very good voice. Have to admit that I didn't really "connect" with her from what I saw. Maybe if I had watched the whole season.... As far as voting goes on these show, it pretty standard for females to do most of the voting, and they usually vote for cute guys. Pretty predictable. As for Adam, this XF gig was a home-run, IMO. He got huge exposure, probably made a good buck or two, and then got one of the presenting jobs for the BBC Awards. Shows that Adam is respected as a person as well as a singer. Just a quality guy all around. I hope this exposure keeps paying off!

Does anyone remember if Adam has attended the BMAs in the past?
