Rebecca and Zayn are on Tthe X Factor Tour together

Rebecca Ferguson finished second on last year's X Factor

It's rumoured X Factor runner-up Rebecca Ferguson has fallen for One Direction,'s Zain 'Zayn' Malik.

The 24-year-old single mum of two, who is currently on the show's tour with the teenager, is reported to have become close to him as they've travelled around the UK.

'One Direction girl fans will hate the thought of Zayn having a relationship with someone older,' a source tells the News of the World.

Zayn, 18, has already been romantically linked to Cher Lloyd and Belle Amie's Geneva Lane.

But if the gossip is true, he reckons he's a great boyfriend.

'I'd like to think I'm caring, considerate and pretty chilled out,' Zayn tells Teen Now.

'I'm definitely loyal if I've got a girlfriend.

'I like to open doors for girls and that sort of thing - I like to feel as though I'm the protector.'

And Rebecca sounds as if she's definitely Zayn's type, though her eyes are brown they are very sparkly.

'I've realised I go for brunettes with olive skin and
brightly coloured eyes,' he reveals.

'Eyes play a big part in my decision!'
