YOUR FRIENDS' ACTIVITY Matt Cardle: Aiden Grimshaw Is A 'Very Heterosexual Man' Ahead of the release of his second full length album Matt Cardle spoke to Entertainment Wise about Taylor Swift, this years' X Factor contestants and fellow friend Aiden Grimshaw. After having the question mark hanging over Aiden's sexuality for quite some time, Matt defended the speculation telling us, ''Is there anything behind that? I know Aiden very well and I know he's a very heterosexual man.'' The X Factor buddy is not the only person Matt has been getting comfortably close with as he tells us, ''Yeah we [Dannii Minogue and I] keep in touch a lot. Every time she's over we catch up, we had lunch a couple of weeks back actually. She's such a supporting girl I love her to bits. She took her role as mentor very seriously; we got on really well so we keep in touch.'' After revealing The Fire , his upcoming album was written about his former girlfriend and their break-up, could Dannii be taking up a new role of "shoulder to cry on"? Matt also revealed that his recent move from X Factor joint label Syco and Columbia has allowed him to take more control over his music, this time being more hands on in the production, unlike debut album Letters. The album features much collaboration including his work with Steve Booker, who has previously worked with Duffy.
