Olly Murs is reportedly dating an X Factor reject, despite breaking up with his girlfriend after landing a place on the show.

The Mirror reports that Olly has hooked up with Laura Henderson from girlband Project A.

A source told the newspaper: “Olly is absolutely smitten with Laura. They hit it off as soon as they met, but both of them realised it was better they tried to keep the relationship quiet.

“It’s early days, but Laura is very supportive of Olly and they’re both hopeful they can make things work once the show is over.”
