X Factor's Diana Vickers 'dumps' Eoghan Quigg
Friends of baby-faced Eoghan claim he is "stunned and crushed" by Vickers' decision to spend more time with her ex-boyfriend instead.
It comes despite comments made by the show host Simon Cowell that the pair were "just a couple of kids in love", and despite a picture of them sharing a passionate embrace after the final show on Saturday.
Quigg was beaten into third place in the reality television programme by winner Alexandra Burke and runners up boy band JLS.
The 16-year-old said that meeting Vickers, from Blackburn, Lancashire, was "the best experience" of his life.
Friends told the Daily Star of her decision: "Eoghan is heartbroken. All his dreams have come crashing down in the space of a few hours.
"He has clearly fallen hook, line and sinker for Diana but she seems a bit more wary at the moment.
"They are both very young and perhaps a cooling-off period is not a bad thing.
"It seems clear that Diana still has a lot of unfinished issues with her ex Chris Jones, and Eoghan will be pushed into the background for now. It's the news he does not want to hear."
Vickers has insisted she was not unfaithful to Jones, despite the widely-pictured kiss with her co-competitor from Derry, Northern Ireland.
"I'm not a liar. I'll tell Chris everything to do with me and Eoghan and I would never cheat on anyone in my life," she said.
"It's so much to think about – I'm just 17 and I need to think about my career and put my all into it without thinking about someone else and having a relationship.
"Right now I'm not going to think about anything like that. I'm going to make sure I spend some time with Chris at Christmas, and who's to say what's going to happen in the future?"
She said of the young singer: ""He's sensitive and very caring and considerate. He can be very silly too, though.
"I can't wait to see him more ... but I dunno what's going to happen.
"There's a difference between loving each other and being in love. I love him to bits ..."
