Marcus Collins too busy for a boyfriend
He may have supported him throughout his time on the X factor last year, but Marcus Collins has reportedly split from his long-term boyfriend David Heath.
The 23-year-old singer apparently has no time for a relationship at the moment after finding fame through the reality TV show.
According to Heat magazine, the pair are said to have grown apart from due to Collins’ hectic schedule.
The couple – who were sharing a flat together – were reportedly very close and a friend recently admitted that they were ‘very much in love.’
Since becoming runner-up on the X Factor, the former hairdresser has been non-stop with public appearances and recording his debut single – a cover of The White Stripes hit, Seven Nation Army.
Heath was clearly very understandable of his partner’s situation, as he himself experience X Factor fame back in 2006.
Boy band Eton Road came fifth in the competition, and a year later Collins joined the band replacing lead singer Anthony Hannah.
They soon began dating and Collins even admitted that he would like to become a parent in the future.
‘I’m absolutely a family guy and I will have a family one day. I would like to be a dad,’ he told Metro recently.
However, before he becomes busy looking after children, the Liverpudlian has a rather busy few months ahead of him.
On February 25, he will embark on the X Factor tour with his fellow contestants including Craig Colton and Amelia Lily.
And his single is set to be released on March 4, with his debut album following a week later on March 12.
