He may have been unlucky in the popular TV talent contest, but X Factor star Rhydian Roberts has certainly been lucky in love as he has revealed his joy over his new girlfriend.
The 24-year-old Welshman is dating Simon Cowell's make-up artist Julia Carta, who he got to know on the show.
Although she is 12 years older than him, Rhydian said that the age gap was fine with both of them and that he is very happy.
He told Hello! magazine: "I fancied her when we were making the show. She's half-Spanish and very beautiful, with dark hair and olive skin. I was also attracted to her because of her lovely personality. She was very supportive and gave me little tips and words of encouragement.
"I'm faithful and monogamous and have eyes for nobody but Julia right now."
Rhydian also revealed that he likes to be old-fashioned when he is dating and showers women with attention.
"During a relationship I will bring a woman flowers. Ladies need to be treated with respect," he said.
