X Factor - Rhydian Roberts and Dannii Minogue

White-haired X Factor contestant Rhydian says he has grown rather fond of mentor Dannii Minogue.

According to the Daily Record, Rhydian has developed a bit of a crush on the curvy Aussie singer, calling her "hot".

"I do fancy Dannii," he confessed. "She's hot and she's lovely to me. She flirts with us like crazy. It makes me blush."

However, 24-year-old Rhyd said that he has never had much luck with the ladies and would be thrilled if women started to like him because of his fame.

The fitness fanatic explained that he had never been popular with girls because he attended an all-boys school and has always been very dedicated to his career.

At least he can be comforted by the fact that Dannii is currently single - meaning he might have a chance one day!

She was married during the 1990s to Nip/Tuck actor Julian McMahon and has also dated Jacques Villeneuve, but has recently been linked to X Factor head judge Simon Cowell - even though he has a girlfriend.

They will both be scrutinising Rhyd this week as the semi-final of the competition kicks off.
