The rumour of a new romance surfaced last weekend
After it was rumoured The X Factor: Celebrity's Thom Evans and judge Nicole Scherzinger had started "dating", the Internet was set on fire with the amount of speculation. Everyone was talking about the new potential romance.

Instead he said that he, alongside his group Try Star, are focusing on the competition, and want to make it to the final of the show in two weeks time.
He said, "To be honest, we are focusing on the bromance and getting to the final! We are working on choreography, vocal lessons, and it's all so full on. So there's not a lot of time for much else."
