JLS lad gets eX Factor

JLS hunk Marvin Humes has got the eX Factor — after splitting with his girlfriend of five years.

The 23-year-old broke up with singer Jaime Jay, 27, last week.

He is the second X Factor hopeful to reveal that the pressures of appearing on the talent show had taken its toll.

Alexandra Burke has also ended a relationship.

Marvin said yesterday: “It’s something that was on the cards for a while. It was a mutual thing. We split up on good terms and we’re speaking every day. We were together for five years. She’s an amazing girl. We were very much in love with each other but it’s time to move on. We didn’t end it because we cheated, it was just a case of all good things coming to an end.”

Alexandra, 20, broke up with her fella last month to concentrate on winning the ITV1 hit.

The Londoner said: “He wasn’t expecting it and I wasn’t expecting it — it is what it is. He still helps me look after my mum.”

She also revealed her show mentor Cheryl Cole, 25, supported her through her decision — and told her to stick with it.

Alexandra said: “She thought it was the right thing to do.”
