POP IDOL - WILL YOUNG FINDS LOVE

Original POP IDOL winner WILL YOUNG has finally found a boyfriend after meeting a dancer at last week's (17FEB04) BRIT AWARDS.

The LEAVE RIGHT NOW hitmaker, 25, met sexy STEVE BROWN - who splits his time between working as a store manager during the day and go-go dancing at London gay club THE VILLAGE during the week - at the glitzy London bash, and immediately asked him out on a date.

Brown has been telling pals, "Will is such a nice guy and very private. But he's also quite forward. He said that he'd like us to go out on a date and then asked what I'd rather do - go to a club or restaurant.

"I'm more of a homebody so I told him I'd rather stay in and order a takeaway. He seemed pleased with that and had a huge grin on his face."
