X - FACTOR winner SHAYNE WARD has hired FRAN COSGRAVE as a bodyguard - to help keep girl fans at bay.
The heart-throb singer, 21, can't go anywhere now without getting mobbed.
So he's signed up the I'm A Celebrity star - who, newly single and with his reputation as a ladies' man - won't be complaining at the extra female attention!
Hardman Fran told us: "I'm looking after Shayne now."
Protecting stars from screaming girls is nothing new for the Irish hunk, 27. After all, he used to look after WESTLIFE.
And it was clear how much he was needed as a bodyguard on Thursday. Shayne, who won X Factor in December and is No1 in this week's album chart, arrived late with Fran at London's Chinawhite.
One clubber said: "It was around 2am and they caused a real stir in the VIP area.
"Shayne was mobbed by girls, including a woman and her two daughters."
Luckily, Fran made sure noone got too close. And he'll be at hand from now on - much to the delight of Shayne's girlfriend FAYE McKEEVER.
Bad boy Fran recently split from NATASHA HAMILTON - mum to their son Josh.
He's also dated JODIE MARSH and Liberty X's KELLI YOUNG and was linked to Love Island co-star JAYNE MIDDLEMISS.
