Olly Murs and Danyl Johnson got up close and personal during their time in the X Factor house.

Cheeky Essex boy Olly Murs confessed to Gay Times that they used to enjoy games of ‘gay chicken’ when they lived together last winter.

25 year –old Olly, who appears on the front cover of the magazine in an unbuttoned wet shirt said: “Danyl was one of the people I was closest to in the house. We used to play ‘gay chicken’ together.

“Gay chicken is this game where you lean in to kiss someone and you await to see who turns away first.

“We were leaning in and laughing, but then Danyl actually closed his eyes! I’ve always been really open-minded. I don’t judge people.”

Olly who just signed a record deal with Simon Cowell’s Syco and Epic added:

“I find myself with gay guys all the time! The ‘you can’t have me thing!’
