Little Mix Star Dumps Boyfriend Following One Direction Fling

Little Mix star Leigh Ann Pinnock has dumped her boyfriend of five years, with him claiming she cheated on him with a member of One Direction.

The X Factor winner had been in a relationship with Nathanuel Diamond for five years but ended things promptly after returning from a Winter break in Barbados. To make matters worse, it is reported that Leigh Ann ended things by text. So cold.

Adding: "I'm really sad but I had to end the relationship as I'm just so busy with everything going on with Little Mix."

"The X Factor tour goes on for two months then we'll be straight into promo for our music. There just isn't time for a relationship at the moment, and I wouldn't do anything half-heartedly."

"It's upsetting but I hope we'll remain friends."

However, that seems unlikely with Nathanuel saying that he knew Leigh-Ann would dump him and that she only wants a famous boyfriend.

"I suspected that something may have been going on with someone out of One Direction or The Risk. But I don't know if it happened. She'd never tell me," said an angry Nathanuel.

Speaking to The Sun, Leigh Ann confirmed that the relationship was over, saying: "I've split up with Nathanual.
