When last year’s ‘X Factor’ winner, James Arthur isn’t preparing for the release of his self-titled debut album, he’s also reaping the rewards of his celebrity status and has allegedly bagged himself a Page 3 girlfriend.


The lady in question is former ‘Celebrity Big Brother’ star, Lacey Banghard who has reportedly been telling friends all about the duo’s hot date.

According to The Sun, James and Lacey met through friends and swapped numbers. The glamour model was later overheard bragging about meeting up with James in East London.


Earlier this year the 'Impossible' singer revealed his management have told him to improve the caliber of his girlfriends.

James told The Sun: “I’m told by my management that I need quality control, I know that I get attention from women who I would be punching above my weight with before. But if I bag a supermodel on the strength of my voice I’m not going to complain.”


We doubt Lacey will complain about the media attention either!
