Ben Haenow is the happy-go-lucky, self-styled "normal van man". So we wanted to know how it felt being thrust into sex symbol status in just a matter of weeks since making his debut on The X Factor.
Do you get raunchy tweets?
There's the occasional ones, not just from girls but boys as well. It's cool as hell, really.
What do they say?
I've had a few marriage proposals, and some really cheeky stuff that's too naughty to say.
Speaking of proposals, if you get to the final, would you propose to your girlfriend [Jessica Jones]?
No. It might be amazing TV, but it wouldn't be amazing for me and my girlfriend.
Simon Cowell could come on with the ring...
Yeah, little Eric could come on as well! No, getting married is something that isn't going to be dictated by the show. Win or lose, I will get married to my girlfriend.
