The former 'X Factor' finalist competed against the singers while taking part in the ITV show last year and admitted they were "weird" on the show so thinks they will be even stranger together, having recently got engaged.

He exclusively told BANG Showbiz: "They are a weird couple but I think it could work. They are weird individually and together. I think, if they love each other it's fine."

However, the 21-year-old singer - who released his debut album 'Kelly' on Friday (17.07.15) and performed a selection of tracks from the record on shopping channel QVC - insisted he wasn't surprised to see them get together following so much speculation about their relationship.

Asked what he thought when he first heard that they'd got together, Andrea said: "I was not really shocked because I was expecting it a little bit. There were rumours about them when we were in 'The X Factor' house."

Meanwhile, the rising star also revealed that he and his mentor on the show, former Spice Girls star Mel B are still in contact over seven months after the contest ended.

He explained: "We have been in touch a few times with messages and stuff. She was so supportive during the show and she kept showing me support even when the show was over."
