The Essex-born singer, 25, revealed that he was so enamoured by the Spice Girl that he even copied the hairstyle of her husband David.
"My first celebrity crush has got to be Victoria Beckham. I was a massive Spice Girls fan back in the day, when I was about 16," he told the ITV1 show's official website.
"I used to have my hair like David Beckham with the blonde locks and the highlights in the hair. She was definitely my first celebrity crush."
He added: "My biggest pin-up was David Beckham. As well as fancying Victoria Beckham and having every picture of her on earth, I had loads of pictures of David because I support Manchester United and he's from around where I live."
The X Factor airs on Saturday at 8pm on ITV1.
