Rhydian Roberts dating older woman

X Factor runner-up in relationship with Simon Cowell’s make-up artist

Rhydian Roberts has confirmed that he's dating an older woman.

The X Factor runner-up, 24, has hooked up with Simon Cowell's make-up artist Julia Carter – despite there being a 12-year gap.

‘She's half Spanish and very beautiful,’ he tells Hello! ‘She's older than me, but that's fine with us both.’

Simon, 48, set Rhydian up with Julia when the Welshman was too shy to ask her out himself.

The singer caused a stir during his X Factor stint when he revealed he was still a virgin.

Rhyd is currently in talks with Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber to star in the West End sequel to the Phantom Of The Opera.
