Steve Brookstein has just got back from his honeymoon in Rome when we speak, after marrying his long-term girlfriend two weeks ago. Yet I still do not escape the trademark flirtation which made him so memorable on the X Factor two years ago.
"I am glad it is a woman interviewing me, I prefer talking to women, not just because I am a flirt but I just find them easier to talk to. It's a shame I didn't speak to you two weeks ago, before I got married!"
However, despite his cheeky comments, Steve is full of praise for his new wife Eileen - a jazz musician he met in the Wimbledon branch of Starbucks.
"The wedding was great, we had a really good day, it went relatively smoothly, as smooth as these things can, it just flew by. She is a good egg."
