But it turned out to be Lloyd, 23, who has a habit of sleepwalking at night as well as reciting Welsh poems in his sleep.

A source told the : "Some of the girls were left terrified that there was a presence in the X Factor mansion after hearing footsteps and moaning noises. They were too scared to get out of bed and look.

"They told the producers and the following night, one of the lads heard the same noises and when he went to see what it was it turned out to be Lloyd."
