Christopher Eccleston my Mind". A regular role in the television series "Cracker" (1993–94) brought him recognition in the UK; and, after he told TV bosses of his desire to leave the series, they killed off his character in October 1994, making him a victim of the serial killer Albie Kinsella (Robert Carlyle). At around the same time, Eccleston appeared in the episode "One, Two, Buckle My Shoe" of the "Poirot" series adapted from mysteries by Agatha Christie. He appeared in the low-budget Danny Boyle film "Shallow Grave" (1994), in which he co-starred with actor Ewan McGregor. The same year, he won the
Kerry McGregor BBC1 Children's drama series "Grange Hill". In 2006, McGregor was a finalist in the third UK series of TV talent show "The X Factor". McGregor was mentored on the show by Sharon Osbourne. She was eliminated in the third week of the live shows along with Dionne Mitchell. McGregor appeared at sell-out summer shows in Blackpool in 2007 and performed for the National Lottery Live, before taking a break to concentrate on her song-writing. In 2008, she recorded and toured with singer-songwriter Jay Brown appearing on his album, "Take What You Need" and worked with producer and musician Calais Brown.
