Now that Christmas is well and truly over for another year, it’s pretty hard to distract ourselves from The X Factor shaped hole in our lives.

Sure, the mince pies were great. Granted, NYE is approaching at an alarming rate. But heck, the ol’ box seems awfully quiet without our weekly X Factor fix.

However, life goes on- especially for The X Factor contestants themselves, as two of our every faves have announced something *pretty* darn exciting!

Drum roll please… Freddy and Matt have moved in together!

Earlier in the month, it had been revealed by The Sun Online that the pair had been hunting for a lads pad to share- having shared ‘The boys get on so well and were both planning on moving into London anyway so decided to move in together’.

The source then added, ‘Matt’s not shy about telling people. He’s moving in with his best mate so he doesn’t see it as a big deal’.

And it looks like the ‘fella’s have finally moved into their new pad- with Freddy sharing the happy news on Twitter yesterday! Freddy writes, ‘Moving out today after nearly 19 years at home ah!!’

Fans have been quick to congratulate the pals on their newly required abode, with replies reading messages such as ‘u and matt are gonna have the best time’ and ‘Good luck with the move and all the best in the new apartment with @MattTerry93‘.

The pair had hit headlines following Matt’s X Factor victory, after many people had began to speculate whether the boys had become romantically involved.

After Matt had championed the show, many had thought the pair had exchanged an on-stage celebratory kiss- with one Twitter user sharing the possible romantic moment on Twitter, with the caption ‘But I swear Matt and Freddie kissed on stage, it’s totally a thing’.

However, the pair have remained adamant they are nothing more than very good pals. Congrats on the new place boys! Now, when can we pop over for a cuppa (and a sing song)?
