EXCLUSIVE VIDEOS Leon Jackson denies X Factor romance with Hope’s Emily

Scottish lad is too busy concentrating on winning the show

Friday, 7 December 2007

X Factor finalist Leon Jackson has denied he’s dating Emily Biggs from axed girl group Hope.

It was claimed that the teens had bonded rather intimately while staying in the show's mansion.

But Leon, 18, insists he and Emily, 17, are nothing more than pals.

‘We’re just really close friends,’ he tells Now Online. ‘I’ve got a lot of time for her as a friend. It’s just been exaggerated to a certain extent.

'It’s true, I was closer to Emily more than the others, but I still get on with the others.’

Scot Leon says he’s too busy trying to win the ITV show to think about starting a serious relationship.

‘There’s not going to be any romance because I’ve just been too busy concentrating on The X Factor,’ says Leon.

‘I just want to try to focus and do as well as I can in the competition. I don’t need any distractions.’

Meanwhile, rival Rhydian Roberts, 24, has denied he and mentor Dannii Minogue have a chemistry.

‘I think she’s well out of my league,’ he explains. ‘She prefers the older man, as well. We’re just friends and it will always remain that way.’

So both boys are single.

Hmm...Not for long, if Now Online’s very own Alison Adey (pictured) has anything to do with it. She's already made a grab for Leon.

(Don't worry, she doesn't stand a chance.)
