I think I’m over it now, but I was in a very dark place… I told him about it recently, and obviously it was never going to go the way I wanted it to go, because he doesn’t love me. But it was good as a form of closure, to get it off my chest and tell him.</p><p></p><p>'I feel better for it. I feel almost like I signed off this part of my life where I keep giving myself to guys who are never going to love me back. It feels good to have interviews like this, to chat about it and put stuff to bed. It’s all there now, and I can move on and hopefully find a guy who can love me the way I love him.'</p><p></p><p>Last week, Andrea Faustini, who has been bookies' favourite to win, shockingly found himself in the bottom two against joke act Stevi Richie, proving that no one is safe in the competition.</p><p> </p><p></p><p>RELATED STORIES:</p><p><a href="http://www.thegayuk.com/magazine/4574334751/Kendra-And-Edwina-In-Bush-Tucker-Trial/9108045">Kendra and gay rights pioneer Edwina Currie make nice in the jungle after massive spat.</a></p><p></p><p><a href="http://www.thegayuk.com/magazine/4574334751/X-Factor-Andrea-Faustini-Thinks-Dermot-O-Is-Cute/8996276">Andrea Faustini hints that he thinks Dermot O'Leary is cute after Dermot brings him gifts from Italy.</a></p><p></p><p><a href="http://www.thegayuk.com/magazine/4574334751/VIDEO-Does-Your-Penis-Size-Matter/9109617">It's an age old question, Does Penis Size Matter?

The song is so difficult to sing but I genuinely from my heart think Andrea can do this. This is a huge, huge challenge and I think you've got to challenge yourself. Everyone I know loves that song, and everyone I know loves Andrea.'</p><p></p><p>X Factor continues tonight at 8:00PM on ITV1</p><p></p><p> </p><p> </p>
