Lucie Jones likes the rugby men, but reportedly had to dump her last boyfriend because she couldn’t trusted with other girls. Her current boyfriend, Richard Jaycock, has insisted that he is different and vowed to renew her faith in men.

Richard told The News Of The World:

“I’m really loyal. There’s no way I’ll be flirting with any other girls.”

“It’s important that she knows I’d be devoted to her,” he added.

“I’m the type of guy who one day wants to settle down and have kids.”

The pair met when Lucie was a barmaid in a Cardiff nightclub Richard manages. He said: “It was only after she quit to go on X Factor that I realised how much I liked her.

“I phoned to tell her and was a bit surprised when she said she felt the same. She’s so sweet.

“I’ll support her but I don’t have any advice to give her. I can’t sing. I play rugby, that’s about it.

“But I want her to know I think she’s great. She’s already a superstar to me.”
