Matt Cardle is dating an 'X Factor' backing dancer, according to reports.
Matt was previously linked to 'X Factor' stylist Grace Woodward during his stint on the show, stating that he wanted to put romance on hold to concentrate on his music.
According to The Sun, the 27-year-old admitted that he could not "promise" fans that he is still single. The paper claims that he and Sarah Robinson have attempted to keep their romance secret, despite reports of their relationship in December.
Asked if he is single, Cardle admitted: "I'm sorry, I can't say that. I can't promise that."
The paper claims that the duo had set up a code word, Sheridan – Matt’s middle name, so they wouldn’t get caught.
A source added that Sarah "was worried it wouldn’t last because of his career but three months on it’s getting stronger.”
It seems this isn’t the first 'X Factor' contestant Sarah has fallen for, her former boyfriend of four years was in the boy group '4th Ba5e'.
The source continued: "It seems Sarah swapped an 'X Factor' loser for an 'X Factor' winner," adding: "But it’s not that simple – with Matt it’s the real deal."
