Raquelle's passionate and incredible in bed and she hasn't left me for co-star Daniel

THE boyfriend of X Factor babe Raquelle Gracie has revealed how he took her virginity...and unleashed an XXX-rated lover.

Lucky Frenchman Greg Bigio said the 20-year-old pop beauty—star of girl band Hope—has lashings of va va voom.

He boasted: "She's beautiful, incredibly sexy and passionate. It was definitely worth the wait."

But he admitted he's battling to save their relationship because of the ITV1 show and denied rumours she's had a fling with axed finalist Daniel De Bourg, 31.

City high-flier Greg said: "It's been hell. Raquelle's the most beautiful woman any man could dream of. But her being on the the X Factor has pushed us to breaking point."

He added: "Daniel made a big play for her and I'm not surprised. She's a wonderful person—very sweet and loving. But she tells me nothing happened, and I have to trust her."

Raquelle had dated Strictly Come Dancing star Matt Di Angelo and Dance X tutor Derek Hough at stage school but was still a virgin when she met Parisian Greg, 24, at London's Movida club in September 2005.

He recalled: "I thought she was amazing. She stood out from every other girl in the club.

"We took things slowly for several months because she was adamant she wanted to wait before we had sex and I respected her attitude. But it was clear there was a great passion between us.

"It was definitely worth the wait. The sex was better than I'd dreamed of. And it keeps getting better and better."

Despite being the only guy to bed Raquelle, Greg revealed she has had a string of admirers — including mentor SIMON COWELL who made a late-night call to her. She made an immediate impression at her audition after barging another hopeful out of the way. Simon commented at the time: "She's ruthless, sexy, ambitious—every trait I love."

Greg said: "I think she is a little infatuated by Simon but he is very happy with his girlfriend."

Other guys have been more persistent, such as the LA music exec who demanded she sleep with him to get a record deal. Greg said: "She was shocked and it made her disillusioned with the industry. Then she saw X Factor and decided to give it one last shot."

Since then Craig David had his eye on her at an awards bash and Smallville star Tom Welling also tried it on. "Thankfully she knocked them back," said Greg.

"I hope all the attention has made us stronger."
