Ben Adams has admitted that he had a brief fling with Alexandra Burke after she was named the winner of The X Factor.

The former A1 singer, who is now reportedly dating Russian fashion designer Nicole Sconciaforni, said that their busy schedules was one of the reasons that the relationship failed.

"We dated for a few weeks after X Factor but it was nothing serious," Adams told The Sun.

"She was too busy rehearsing for the tour and didn't have time for a relationship and, to be honest, I wasn't that attracted to her anyway."

Simon Cowell revealed earlier this month that he has been working closely with 20-year-old Burke, adding that she has the potential to be as successful as fellow show winner Leona Lewis.
