Britain's Next Top Model judge Grace Woodward has dismissed rumours she is
romantically involved with Matt Cardle - insisting she'd rather cosy up
with another of the X Factor men.
No, we're not talking about Simon Cowell or even Wagner - but pint-sized
host Dermot O'Leary.Grace - who worked as a stylist specialist on the
show - also pointed out that until she got her mitts on him, The X Factor
winner had terrible fashion sense.Speaking to Closer magazine, she said:
"Matt Cardle started with really bad fashion sense! For some reason he
wanted to work the wife-beater vest look all along. I gave in but only
when I thought it fitted the song.""I'd rather have Dermot O'Leary than
Matt if I'm honest!"
