Hitting the big time: X Factor contestant Matt Cardle's ex has spoken out about him dumping her for fame and fortune
He denied that he broke up with his long-term girlfriend because he'd made it through to the boot camp stage of the X Factor.
But Matt Cardle's ex-girlfriend has spoken out for the first time since the split and said she was always 'second best to his musical ambitions'.
Last month, Lauren Cutmore's father said his daughter had been left devastated after Matt told her that producers had advised him to break up with her as it would improve his popularity with female viewers.
Lauren was especially hurt because Matt only auditioned after she persuaded him to go for it and even helped him pick out his audition song, Amy Winehouse's You Know I'm No Good.
Matt denied this and said their split was inevitable and 'what happened would always have happened'.
But speaking to the News of the World today, Lauren Cutmore, 24, claims that Matt, 27, dumped her by phone after his successful audition.
She said: 'He said, "It's just not working, I haven't got time for you" and put the phone down. I was heartbroken.'
She told the newspaper that he still phones and texts her every other day to talk about the show and five weeks ago they slept together after meeting up at a hotel in Hertfordshire.
But Lauren added: 'We both agreed it was the perfect way to say goodbye.'
Heartbroken: Lauren, seen here with Matt at his X Factor audition, said she always came 'second best to his music ambitions'
She said he still phones and texts her every other day to talk about the show and five weeks ago they slept together after meeting up at a hotel in Hertfordshire.
Matt and Lauren first met when she was 15 and he was 18 but she said he 'though I was too young'.
Then last April, Matt got a job in the bar of the Bull Hotel where Lauren - who was engaged to someone else - also worked in their hometown Halstead, Essex and a few days later they got together.
Since they split, Matt has been linked to a couple of other women, more recently 33-year-old X Factor stylist Grace Woodward.
But Lauren said even though he's not spoken about her to him, she is not worried.
She said: 'I can't see it going anywhere. She's a lot older than him and I've never know Matt to even date someone his own age - let alone six years his senior.
'As soon as the X Factor is finished he'll be off somewhere else.'
