PHOEBE LOVE IS AXED

Saucy Hope singer Phoebe Brown really has got the EX factor after suddenly giving her besotted fella the elbow.

Phoebe dumped gardener Jamie Alison, 18, days after he said he wanted them to be "together forever".

Friends claimed the pop wannabe, who has a cheeky past, realised she could have her pick of fellas now she was well-known.

A pal revealed: "She joked she could find someone much fitter now she's famous.

"Jamie will be devastated but Phoebe is hot with the boys and she's only 16 so it's no surprise."

Phoebe's first love was last night nursing his broken heart - as she took lead vocals on Hope's cover of Christina Aguilera's love song Hurt. Our source said: "It was ironic Phoebe had to sing this really poignant song while her man watched from afar hoping they could get back together."

Phoebe, from Addlestone, Surrey, and Jamie went to private school together but only hooked up a year ago after she comforted him when his dad suddenly died. Friends said they were inseparable from their first date - to see movie Borat at the cinema.

He called her every day after she went into the X Factor mansion.

And just last week Jamie, from West Byfleet, told his local newspaper he hoped they would "be together forever".

Yesterday a pal of his said: "Phoebe and her friends joke she has plenty of other offers and will be hot property now she's single.

"Yet I know she'll still be very upset about it."

This is not the couple's first sticky patch. They were on - off this summer when Phoebe appeared in an Xrated video with a blonde girl pal and a male student.

Last night Jamie told The People: "We have broken up but we are hoping to sort things out. It looks hopeful."

Phoebe refused to comment.
