Rhydian: 'I'm straight and a virgin'

X Factor contestant Rhydian Roberts has denied rumours that he is gay and has also confirmed that he is still a virgin.

The singer claimed he has no problem with people assuming he is gay, but added that he is "100%" straight.

He told the Mirror: "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."

Roberts revealed that his Christian beliefs are the reason behind his decision to not have sex before marriage.

He commented: "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."
