Fan books X Factor star for wedding

Welsh X Factor finalist Rhydian Roberts has "thrilled" a bride-to-be by saying he will sing at her wedding next year.

The blonde singer was introduced to fan Kristyna Bater when he visited the Wales Millennium Centre in Cardiff this week.

When she told him her daughter Sarah, 21, was getting married next year, he told her it would be "a pleasure" to sing for her, and added: "I'm booked!".

Mrs Bater, 45, said: "I have been a fan of Rhydian since the beginning of X Factor. His voice is one of the best I have ever heard and can make the hairs on the back of my neck stand on end.

"When Sarah heard that we were going to see Rhydian, she casually remarked 'ask him to sing at my wedding', not expecting me to even be able to meet him.

"When I told her that I had asked him, and that he had agreed, she was absolutely thrilled."

Mrs Bater, of Pontyclun, south Wales, said Rhydian would be receiving an invitation to the wedding ceremony and reception, along with Real Radio presenter Angela Jay, who introduced her to the star.

Her daughter, a hairdresser, plans to marry 25-year-old boyfriend Allen Jones in Llantrisant, south Wales, in May.

Mrs Bater added: "Whether Rhydian wins X Factor or not, he still has a great future ahead of him, although I feel that he really deserves to win. He certainly has the talent.

"We will definitely be voting for him many times on Saturday and keeping our fingers crossed that he will triumph."
