X FACTOR winner Shayne Ward has revealed he hates being in a long distance relationship because he misses out on sex.
The Irish singer, whose parents are from Ireland, has been dating long-term girlfriend Faye McKeever for four years and longs for some nookie when he’s on tour.
The 22-year-old said: “I’m really missing sex. Everyone loves a bit of rudey, don’t they? And I’m an amazing kisserâ€.
Shayne shot to fame after winning The X Factor in 2005 and is about to release his new single If That’s OK With You with a brand new sound.
The star’s manager, music mogul Louis Walsh can’t wait for fans to hear Shayne’s new American vibe.
He said: “Shayne, I think, has got the most amazing album. It’s all finished, it’s totally different from anything he’s ever done – well, the first album. It’s somewhere between Justin Timberlake and, kind of, Usherâ€.
The heartthrob has been brushing up on his dance moves for his sexy new video, shot in sunny Santa Monica.
“It’s nice to be called a sex symbolâ€, he said.
“I guess it boosts my confidence to be told I’m a good-looking guyâ€.
