X Factor star Sam Callahan has been signed up for the next series of Ex on the Beach
He was due to enter Celebrity Big Brother but has since been snapped up by rival channel MTV
X FACTOR star Sam Callahan is set to star in the next series of Ex On The Beach – after pulling out of Celebrity Big Brother.
The former X Factor hopeful, 22, was due to enter the Big Brother house this January.
But Sam has since been tapped up by Ex On The Beach producers to star on the MTV show – after impressing bosses with his hunky physique and outgoing personality.
A source close to the star told The Sun's Bizarre column: “Sam is the best shape he's ever been in, he's been training so hard and now we know why.
“He’s been having conversations with the Ex on the Beach production company since last year and looks to be signing on the dotted line this week.
“Sam is a player and has dated a string of glamour models including some old X Factor alumni too.
“If his most recent ex Tamera Foster, who was also on X Factor, comes out of the water then that is going to cause some fireworks as they haven't spoken since they split up last year.
“Sam is definitely not afraid of a bit of PDA after he was pictured getting raunchy with Take Me Out girl Gabriella Ryan in an alleyway.
“He would be sure to bring some extra eye candy to the show as well as tons of personality and banter.”
Sam has been getting his body in shape for the MTV show – and regularly showcases his six pack and toned body on social media.
The telly star, who first rose to fame as part of The X Factor in 2013, has a string of exes who could be joining him on the series.
He previously dated fellow X Factor singer Tamera Foster after meeting on the show but called time on their relationship one year later to concentrate on their careers.
Sam was also rumoured to be dating former X Factor alumni Chloe Paige last year – after they enjoyed a series of dates together and looked cosy at Zara Holland’s MIIAAN launch.
He proved that he’s not afraid of a bit of public display of affection after he was pictured getting raunchy with Take Me Out contestant Gabriella Ryan in an alley.
The blonde hunk opened up about his betrayal hell to The Sun last year after an explicit video showing himself pleasuring himself circulated online.
A rep for Sam declined to comment.
