'X Factor' Contestant Wagner, 56, Set To Become A Father With Girlfriend, 20 (PICS)

Wagner's Made More Than Music...

Just when you thought you'd forgotten all about former X Factor contestant Wagner, this bombshell comes along.

The 56-year-old lothario has revealed he is expecting a baby with his 20-year-old girlfriend.

*Jaw hits desk*

Wagner - who became Louis Walsh's token gimmick act on the show back in 2010 - is set to become a father with his lover Lydia Longville, who is six months pregnant.

It will be the second child for Wagner as he already has a five-year-old son from a previous relationship, who he is estranged from.

Speaking to Love It! magazine, Wagner said: “Chances are, I have 20 or 30 years left, but there’s nothing I can do about it.

“If I didn’t do karate, I may as well step into a coffin now, though.”

The couple first met in 2010 while Wagner was still competing on The X Factor, but despite the huge 36 year age gap, they have insisted they are very happy.

Lydia said: “I can even remember that he was wearing a black shirt with red roses on it, and a burgundy jacket.”

Wagner added: “If people say I’m a cradle snatcher, they’re short-sighted, I don’t feel 56.

“To be frank, we love each other very much and can’t wait to start a family.

“We’d stopped using contraception so it was inevitable, because she’s young and fertile.

“I’m like a vampire - I only like young blood.”

There goes breakfast.

But we shouldn't expect to hear any wedding bells any time soon, as Wagner revealed he doesn't want to wed his young girlfriend.

“I’ve committed this marriage crime twice and I’ve done my time,” he said. “A wedding is like a holiday to me – you do it when you have time and money.”

Lydia added: “Let’s just say his experience has paid off. He didn’t serenade me with a song in the bedroom, but there’s always been lots of sexual chemistry.”

The full interview appears in this week's Love It! magazine, on sale now.

Now just for old times sake, here's Wagner performing LaLaLoaf Shack (read Love Shack) on The X Factor.
