X Factor Rhydian's a virgin

X Factor favourite Rhydian Roberts has admitted he is a virgin and does not believe in sex before marriage.

The flamboyantly-dressed singer has been the subject of rumours for weeks over his sexuality.

But in his first interview about his personal life, the 24-year-old Welshman said: "If people are assuming that I am gay, or whatever, that is fine. They don't know me and I dress quite camp. But I can say categorically that I am 100 per cent straight."

The devout Christian, who is odds-on favourite to win ITV1's The X Factor, said his religious beliefs meant no sex before marriage. Rhydian added: "That is not saying that I can't have fun with a lady. I love the company of women.

"I have been offered sex, like most men. But if you believe in something you can't compromise. But I am only human and you can fall short. At the moment, my priority is singing.

"I am not a closet Christian. If someone asks me about it, I will talk about it. I do pray on Saturdays but then I pray every day. But what will be will be, it's God's will and that is a great mental attitude to have."
