CRAIG David is helping heartbroken Cheryl Fernandez-Versini through her marriage break-up, it has been reported.

The pair, who met on X Factor last year, are said to have formed a ‘tight bond’ and firm friendship.

Southampton-born Craig David shot to fame with Re-Rewind in 1999 but his career has seen a renaissance and he will headline the Common People festival this summer.

He is back in the charts with When the Bassline Drops and has reportedly swapped phone numbers with Fernandez-Versini.

She split from husband Jean-Bernard Fernandez-Versini last month and the pair have filed for divorce.
