Rhydian Roberts can't stop smiling. The X Factor singer has just started dating Julia Carter. He met Julia during the X Factor series. She was Simon Cowell's make up artist.

Rhydian has revealed to Digital Spy: "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. We're gradually getting to know one another properly and I'm very happy."

"She's 12 years older than me, but that's fine with us both."
