X Factor winner Joe McElderry has felt the need to address rumours that he is gay in today’s newspapers.

Joe has confirmed that he has never slept with a woman but added that he is definitely, 100% straight.

The 18 year old told The Sun:

“People say I’m squeaky clean but I don’t see things like that. I’m a normal person living the dream. What you see is what you get.

“I’m straight. I’ve had girlfriends, but I don’t have one right now. I haven’t slept with anyone, but I’m a young lad and I’m concentrating on my music.

“I know I’ll probably get offers but – for me – it’s all about the singing for now.

“Being recognised means you have to be really careful. I say, ‘Enjoy it, but don’t go over the top’. At the minute, the last thing on my mind is a girlfriend.

“I need to concentrate on things and maybe think about that when the album’s out and I’ve got a bit of chill time.”

Proving that he is indeed the perfect teen idol, Joe admitted that he has never taken drugs and rarely drinks saying:

“I’ve never ever done drugs. I have drunk, but I’m not a drinker.

“If I go out I don’t necessarily drink – but every couple of weeks I’ll have a few to chill out.

“If people try and tempt me into getting drunk I’ll get a Diet Coke and pretend it’s got vodka in it. I’m quite a well-behaved person anyway. I respect my mam.”

Surely Disney will have to snap him up now!
