Fans Will Be Disappointed: James Arthur Has A New Romance

James Arthur is dating glamour model Lacey Banghard, according to The Sun newspaper.

They met through a mutual friend and the brunette model, who appeared in this year’s Celebrity Big Brother, has been telling friends they have gone out together.

25-year old James had previously admitted he enjoys the attention he receives from girls as a result of his new found fame.

The Impossible singer said: ''I'm told by my management that I need quality control. I know that I get attention from women who I would be punching above my weight with before. But if I bag a supermodel on the strength of my voice I'm not going to complain. I'm under no illusion that I'm some kind of heart-throb but it's nice to get female attention.''

Rumours have suggested the pair met through Rylan Clark, who also took part in this year’s Celebrity Big Brother and a contestant on last year’s X Factor alongside James.

James is still in touch with Rylan, tweeting this week: ''Me and @rylanclark recording buzzcocks together later on! Can't wait to see my big brothers little brother from another mother!! #LOVE [sic]''
