Forget X Factor, It Should Be Called Love Factor!

Last year, it was Frankie Cocozza and Amelia Lily and this year, it is Ella Henderson and George Shelley.

The teenage singers apparently have a bit of a thing going on behind the scenes, that is if reports this morning are to be believed.

Rumours have it the talented drama student and the boy band cutie have finally taken things to the next level after weeks of flirting.

Ella has won over the hearts of the nation and George apparently.

In true teen movie style, the pair reportedly shared their first kiss when fellow contestants dared them to. Not exactly romantic but whatever works for you!

A source revealed to The Sun newspaper: “It’s such a cute romance – they’re playing it down but they’re absolutely inseparable.”

The insider added: “They are holding hands when they think no one is looking and since they were dared to kiss, they haven’t been apart.”

The singer was given a life line when he was incorporated into the boy band.

Perhaps George is the reason that Ella put on such a stunning performance during Saturday night’s first live show. She sang Take That’s Rule the World and received high praise from all of the judges including Gary Barlow.

“There is nothing worse than someone singing my song ten times better than me,” the songwriter and singer proclaimed. It’s not surprising that the singing sensation got through to next week.

George’s Union J also avoided elimination with their rendition of Queen’s Don’t Stop Me Now. It was country singer Carolynne Poole who had to leave the competition after a dramatic judge’s vote which saw Louis Walsh change his mind twice, eventually leaving it up to the public to decide.

The 32-year-old is the first contestant to be eliminated this year.
