From unrequited love to sexy hook-ups, The X Factor house is more like the Playboy mansion!
The seven-bedroom house in north London is turning into a hotbed of passion with a toe-curling love triangle emerging among Katie Waissel, Matt Cardle and Rebecca Ferguson.
Love her/loathe her Katie, 24, has told pals she won't give up on her feelings for Matt, 27, despite him blasting her for spilling details about their recent tryst.
Show staff were shocked to discover Katie and Matt in bed together two weeks ago.
‘They'd been mucking around and ended up kissing during a silly game.
'But there was an obvious attraction and they ended up in the same bed,' an insider claimed.
When the news exploded in the press, Matt was furious and blasted Katie for leaking details of their love-in, saying:
‘What do you think you're doing? I'm not about to get into a relationship with you - you're not my type.'
Diva Fever star Joe Al-Smadi tells Now: ‘I was in the make-up room when he was kicking off about her and he was like: "That f***ing bitch. I can't believe she's using me to get in the papers!"
'Katie's really self-obssessed. She knows she's not going to win so for her the more exposure the better.'
A friend of the blonde wannabe tells Now: ‘Matt was furious with her and won't speak to her at all, but that's revved Katie up even more. She thinks he's just playing hard to get and told me in no uncertain terms: "I always get what I want."
'She really likes him, but sadly the feeling isn't mutual.'
