Matt Cardle’s ex-girlfriend has claimed The X Factor singer was unfaithful numerous times and once cheated on her with a stripper.

“Matt is addicted to sex. He has never been faithful to anyone,” Lauren Cutmore told News of the World. “Matt was rampant – if he'd had his way we'd have been having it all the time. We'd do it at least three times a day. The record was seven.”

Cutmore, who dated the X Factor favourite for 15 months, also claimed he had an affair with a stripper a year ago, which she uncovered on Facebook. “There was a message he’d sent to a friend where he said he was having a ‘sh*g fest’ and added, ‘Shhh, don’t tell Lauren’.”

The 22-year-old also addressed reports that Matt is dating show stylist Grace Woodward. "I wish her luck because she’ll need it. He has never been faithful to anyone, and she’s just something for him to do.

“This is just another case of him being lazy,” she said of his choice of girlfriend. “He’s never put any effort into finding a girl. It’s all about what’s right there in front of him. He’ll probably become a serial stylist sh*gger now that women like this are always around him.”
