Matt Cardle: Rihanna is the ultimate woman

Matt Cardle has praised his X Factor duet partner Rihanna for being both “sweet and hot”. The ‘Run For Your Life’ singer admitted that he was still smitten with Bajan star, months after they performed together in last year’s series of the talent contest.

“The first thing I noticed about Rihanna is how amazing she smells,” he told TMF Radio. “Up close and from afar.”

“She’s so sweet and so hot, it’s just the ultimate combination. And really talented. It’s kind of sickening in a way. How can you be that great?”

Cardle previously described his Rihanna duet as “very, very hot”, but confessed that he would be too nervous to sleep with her.

“You’d have to do a ‘bluey’ with her,” he jested. “It’s one of those situations you think, ‘I’m not risking it’. With really good-looking girls, the pressure’s on.”
