X Factor virgin "100% straight"

Many had imagined that his whole riff about being too committed a Christian to lose his virginity was in fact a not-so-elaborate plan to disguise his homosexuality.

But X Factor contestant Rhydian has revealed that he is not one of us.

“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% straight.”

The 24-year-old from Powys in Wales is one of the last contestants on this year’s X Factor, which ends on 15th December.

His comments on his Bible-inspired celibacy are well worth a read:

“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 (the day of X Factor) 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.”
