Union J's JJ Hamblett 'Dating Dancer'

Union J is reported to be dating a dancer from a rival reality TV series.

The singer is claimed by The Sun to have hooked up with Brazilian hoofer Rithiely 'Rithy' Pereira - who appeared on the BBC's So You Think You Can Dance last year.

They are claimed to have met when she was hired as a backing dancer on The X Factor, and the paper claims they have enjoyed a couple of dinner dates since then.

A source said: "JJ couldn't take his eyes off Rithy the first time he spotted her backstage at The X Factor.

"They started chatting and she agreed to go out with him for a date. Now he's really into her."

Union J made it through to the semi-final of this year's series after beating Rylan Clark in the sing-off on Sunday.
