Sam Bailey, the English pop singer who won The X Factor in 2013, is actively involved in charity work related to epilepsy because her 16-year-old son Tommy was diagnosed with epilepsy, experiencing tonic-clonic seizures. She participates in charity football matches to raise awareness and funds for Young Epilepsy, an organization that has helped her family with counseling and support. Besides her charity efforts, Bailey continues her music and theatrical career, including recent roles in musical productions and releasing new music. She lives in Leicester with her husband and children and remains engaged in her music and public activities as of 2025.
There is no recent indication that anything negative has happened to her; she remains publicly active and committed to both her career and her family causes.
