Shayne Ward Mistaken For His Idol

The 2005 X-Factor winner has moved to Los Angeles to record his second album and recover from a throat operation. Speaking to heat magazine he said “I’ve had so many weird experiences”.

“One woman ran up to me in LA because she thought I was Justin Timberlake. She was very disappointed and embarrassed when I wasn’t.”

Shayne also admits he’s been working on getting an A-list body. He got two new tribal style tattoos and has been shaping up in time for the promotion of his second album. He told heat, “I’m working really hard to get my body to a state where I can maintain it. And people are going to be seeing more of it. I just wanted to tone up. I just wanted to feel better about myself.” He added: “I feel much more confident now.”

Despite admitting he loves all the attention from his female fans Shayne insists his four year relationship with girlfriend Faye is stronger than ever. He says, “The way I see it, I have a lot more to lose than to gain. So as much as I can have fun chatting to and meeting and having a dance with girls, that’s as far as it goes.”
