Rak-Su’s Myles Stephenson enjoyed secret-hook up with Love Island star Malin Andersson while on X Factor
RAK-SU have been inundated with female attention and messages online after their X Factor victory.
But I can reveal hunky singer MYLES STEPHENSON is no stranger to internet advances — and has taken them one stage further.
The singer enjoyed a secret hook-up with Love Island’s MALIN ANDERSSON during his time on the ITV talent show after she messaged him online.
And after hitting it off on social media the pair met up in person for a more intimate liaison.
An X Factor source said: “Myles clearly took a fancy to Malin after she made contact on Twitter and Instagram.
“They met up in secret and enjoyed a few nights together at her home in Milton Keynes before going their separate ways.
“It was a cheeky move by Myles given X Factor’s bosses ask contestants to concentrate on the show while they’re still involved.”
The pair’s romance was brief as Myles still harboured feelings for his ex-girlfriend Rebecca Bignell.
The couple had agreed to go their separate ways in September weeks after the latest series got under way.
And shortly afterwards Malin got in touch to spark the Love Island and X Factor mash-up.
Malin featured in the 2016 series of ITV2’s Love Island.
She coupled up with fellow contestant TERRY WALSH inside the villa but dumped him shortly after she was voted out.
In their exclusive chat in Tuesday’s column, Myles and his Rak-Su bandmates said girls were off the agenda while they try to establish themselves in the music industry.
After this revelation, I doubt chart domination isn’t the only thing on their minds.

LIAM GALLAGHER must believe in Christmas miracles after admitting his ideal present would be ending his feud with brother NOEL. He said: “I want our kid to come to his f***ing senses. That’s what I want for Christmas. I love him.”
Blue move for Katy
KATY PERRY channels MADONNA and The Smurfs in her latest stage outfit.
The pop star vamped up her all-blue latex outfit with Madge’s famous coned bra cups as she took her Witness tour to Wisconsin in the States on Monday.
During one of her tunes, she was seen giving the middle finger on stage just hours after winning her legal battle against two nuns who had tried to stop her buying a former LA convent for £10.8million that she wanted to turn into a home.
The sisters said they were not happy with Katy buying the property due to her provocative music and sold it elsewhere without the right to do so. The court awarded the singer a settlement of £3.75m.
I can’t imagine those nuns will be too impressed with her latest on-stage antics either.
Stormzy filling his boots after very lucrative year
STORMZY’s boots might not be very big – but his bank balance is certainly filling up nicely.
The grime star, who reached the top ten with Big For Your Boots, turned over a massive £2.5million.
A staggering 12 times more than the £200,000 he netted the previous year, new accounts filed at Companies House have revealed.
His Hashtag Merky Touring firm made up £1.9million of the total.
An insider said: “He’s built up a huge following and shifted a lot of music to earn himself some very respectable money.
“He can certainly afford some nice Christmas presents this year.”
It’s been a great year for the Croydon rapper, who’s debut album Gang Signs & Prayer topped the charts.
And last month, he picked up a hat-trick of awards at the 2017 Mobos – Best Male, Best Album and Best Grime Act.
But his success has been somewhat overshadowed by the emergence of a series of homophobic tweets he sent between 2011 and 2014.
Among them, he repeatedly used the terms “a f****t,” “f**” and “gay” in a negative and derogatory fashion.
He has since apologised for his past “ignorance”, and said his comments were “unacceptable and disgusting”.
It’s deeply depressing that he felt that language was ever OK.

BEYONCE’s marriage to straying JAY Z was kept together by daughter Blue Ivy. A US source said: “It was very rough for them to stay married. It took Beyonce a long time to trust again, but keeping her family together was very important.”
Sam has the bow factor
PRINCE HARRY may think twice about SAM SMITH’s bid to sing at his wedding after an awkward run-in the first time they met.
The singer has recalled how he ended up with his face near the royal’s private parts after a massive faux pas while bowing.
Sam said: “I’ve met him a few times. They told me to bow, and I really bowed. I was at a right angle. It was like I was going to . . . ”
The star’s description of the moment with ANDY COHEN on US telly is too rude for a family paper, butit’s far from regal.
I told last month how Sam, who is dating actor BRANDON FLYNN, has a dream to sing for Harry when he weds MEGHAN MARKLE next year.
Sam hopes to follow in the footsteps of ELLIE GOULDING, who sang for PRINCE WILLIAM and KATE MIDDLETON’s big day.
If any royal would see the funny side it’s Harry.

Margot looks herself again
MARGOT ROBBIE finally looks herself again at the Hollywood premiere of latest movie I, Tonya.
The actress wore prosthetics on her chin, cheeks, nose, under her eyes and even around her neck to play disgraced Olympic figure skater TONYA HARDING.
On the red carpet at LA’s Egyptian Theatre on Tuesday Margot joined Tonya, who was implicated in an attack on her competitor NANCY KERRIGAN in the Nineties.
And on Jimmy Kimmel Live! this week Margot told stand-in host CHRIS PRATT she was once too lazy to help her mum clear a snake out of the driveway almost leading to disaster.
She confessed: “I said, ‘Mum, I’m really busy on MSN. Like, no.’ And she’s on the driveway and there’s this python – it was huge, it had wrapped its way up her arm and it’s trying to strangle her around her neck.”
Daisy's airs and graces
FIVE years ago DAISY RIDLEY was making do with minor roles in Silent Witness and Casualty. But now life is very different for the Star Wars actress.
With two of the hit sci-fi films under her belt and a starring role in Murder On The Orient Express, it’s all change.
She said: “When we did the press tour for the first Star Wars movie, I got very used to having a fancy seat. It was awesome. But I’ve travelled home to see my family a couple of times in economy and I’m like, ‘Oh, this is how normal people travel.’
"I’d forgotten. I’ve become a light traveller, but I always pack warm socks for the plane. I also travel with two crystals, which were given to me. They are my tokens of love and protection. They come with me everywhere.”
Most people would just take a book.
