Lloyd Daniels ends it like Beckham

YOUNG hunk Lloyd Daniels has already left behind a string of sweethearts - and he's only 16!

His mum told how Lloyd - dubbed a "little David Beckham" by Louis Walsh last week - finished with his last girlfriend, called Molly, because he wanted to be single for the X Factor.

But he now has a crush on fellow wannabe LUCIE JONES, 18, after spending time with her in the show's house. Plus - he fancies his mentor CHERYL COLE too!

Lloyd's mum Lisa, 41, told us: "When he first met Lucie, he said to me, 'Mum, I've just met the most beautiful girl from Cardiff.' He said she was absolutely stunning and lovely as well. He really liked her.

"Lucie and Stacey Solomon are his best friends on the show. Whenever I ring him he is with them." Then two weeks ago Lloyd went crazy over Cheryl. Lisa said: "Lloyd thinks Cheryl is absolutely beautiful and has an incredible figure. For a boy of 16 she is pretty much the perfect woman.

"A couple of weeks ago Lloyd knocked on her dressing-room door. He was going to ask her something but he can't remember what it was now.

"He rang me straight after and said, 'I've just spent 40 minutes in Cheryl's dressing room drinking tea with her and Louis.'

"He was so excited. I asked if they talked about his songs and routines but he said they just talked about real life."

In Lloyd's life so far he has had more than his fair share of pretty girls. His popularity has extended to X Factor, with hordes of young female fans screaming for him outside the house.

Lisa, who is divorced from Lloyd's dad Brian and has an 18-month-old son with her fiancé Carl, smiled: "Lloyd's always had an eye for the girls - at the age of seven he invited a little girl called Amy home for dinner, held her hand and told all his friends they were going to get married.

"I would say he has probably had about ten girlfriends in total." His first proper girlfriend was a girl called Kirsty when he was 12. Then there was neighbour Aiesha, who he was with for a year.

But Lloyd's first true love - and the one his mum reckons he still likes - was 15-year-old Tyler, a family friend he dated on and off for more than a year before they split up in May.

Lisa, from Treharris, south Wales said: "She's a petite, blue-eyed blonde and very beautiful. But in the end the bickering got to them. It was just the usual teenage stuff.

"When he broke up with Tyler, Lloyd spent a lot of time in his room for a few days. I think he's still sweet on her and she's still sweet on him."

Then he dated a girl called Molly, 16. Lisa said: "She was nice. But she and Lloyd had only been together for about five weeks when things started getting serious on the X Factor.

"Lloyd decided he would be better off single. He said he didn't want to be in a relationship and have a girl ringing up and needing his attention when he was supposed to be rehearsing his songs."

"They still talk on the phone every week though. Lloyd speaks to all of his exes - they ring him up all the time." Molly wrote about the split on her Twitter web page, saying in September: "There is love of course. And then there's life, its enemy."

But Lloyd's biggest female fans are Lisa and his sister Toni, 20, who are in the studio audience every week. Lisa said: "Lloyd has banned us from crying.

"Every Sunday night I am in tears. Toni is the same. She just crumbles every time she sees him singing."
