BEN'S A SEX ADDICT
We did it on beach, in dinghy out at sea and on his piano, says ex He bragged of losing virginity to babysitter and beddinggroupies He dumped me for my best friend once he got on X Factor EXCLUSIVE

X FACTOR favourite Ben Mills is a sex-mad love-cheat who lost his virginity to his babysitter as a teenager, says his ex.
And former girlfriend Anna Barratt says ever since that first lesson in lust with a woman five years his senior, the long-haired rocker's X-rated antics have left scores of women broken-hearted.
Anna, 28, claims Ben cheated on her three times before dumping her for her best friend Siobhan Hewlett - an actress who is also a family friend of X Factor judge Sharon Osbourne - just days after their first anniversary in July.
Anna, who helped 26-year-old Ben battle cocaine addiction and supported him through the X Factor auditions, said that, before their split, he loved public sex sessions.
They made love on the beach, in the sea and on his piano and he boasted how he'd enjoyed non-stop sex with groupies while touring with his band.
But he would fly into paranoid jealous rages and accuse her of sleeping with other men while he was high on cocaine.
"He's hungry for fame and sex - and he'll do whatever he wants to feed his addiction," she said. "He told me he'd cheated on all his ex-girlfriends. Now I'm just a statistic on his long list of broken hearts." Anna said she fell for Ben after a beach party in A their home town of Whitstable, Kent, in July last year. "I asked if anyone had a jet ski. He strolled over and said, 'Actually, I've got two.' I didn't fancy him at all but he pursued me with texts, then wined and dined me. Three months later, he whisked me off to Venice. We moved into our own flat together and were utterly smit ten."
Anna, then the assistant manager of a betting shop, said she would meet Ben, whose day job was hiring 1 out marquees, for "sex sand-wiches" during lunch. She said: had a very high sex drive and wanted it all the time. We did it 1 everywhere... outside, on the beach. We'd pop home for a "sandwich" at lunch. He'd call me his nymphomaniac, and definitely knew what he was doing.
"Once we went out to sea in a dinghy. It was \ packed on the beach. We got really steamy 1 and made such a splash 1 people thought we I were in trouble and were going to sink. When we got back people were asking us if we were okay.
"One of our wildest nights was when he had his wicked way with me on his baby grand piano. In fact he pretty much liked it everywhere.""
But Ben's drug addiction was a huge strain. Anna claims he was high while playing with his band, Benzego.
"In the summer he was doing five gigs a week and the drugs were flowing," she said. "He did so much his eyes were bulging and his mouth was gurning. Cocaine turned him into a monster.
Once, he was chopping up cocaine at a party when I went to the loo. When I got back he went mental, saying I'd slept with the host in the toilets. It was ludicrous.
Another time, he organised a Michael Jackson-themed birthday party for me. I stopped to chat to a friend's boyfriend and afterwards Ben ranted, 'How was he? I saw you with stubble rash on your chin.'"
Then, after visiting a relationship counsellor, he gave up drugs. "I wasso proud, he'd given them up for me," she said.
Ben admits he was a cocaine addict and tried acid, ecstasy, speed and cannabis, but says he had been clean for seven months before X Factor.
He said: "Rock 'n' roll and the drugs that came with it are mypast, but singing is my big passion in life and X Factor is my future."
Anna says Ben's other passion is beautiful women. She said: "He told me that when he played with a Doors tribute band he had groupies in his van every night, back stage, on fire escapes. He said he'd had threesomes, and boasted of sleeping with supermodels. He said he had photos to prove it."
Ben also told Anna he lost his virginity in his teens to a babysitter who was five years older than him. Anna claims he cheated on her with an ex after heading to a gig witha mattress in his van.
He was also spotted snogging a girl outside a pub I was in, but I only found out afterour break-up."
But the big betrayal was with her best friend, actress Siobhan Hewlett, 24, who has been in Midsomer Murders and Canterbury Tales. Siobhan's actress mum Teresa Sampson, who lives in Whitstable, was once Sharon Osbourne's room-mate and knows Simon Cowell's girlfriend Terri Seymour.
Siobhan did everything she could to impress Ben with her celebrity contacts. She texted Sharon and Terri to put in a good word for him," Anna said.
"As soon as Ben got through the first X Factor audition she spent every day with him.
One day I went to the beach and they were reading Sharon's autobiography Siobhan was in a gold bikini. She got him to sign it and said she'd give it to Sharon as a joke."
Anna's suspicions were confirmed when she found love notes from Siobhan to Ben, calling herself his "beautiful Princess Mermaid of the sea".
Ben - the favourite to win X Factor - has denied cheating, saying the relationship with Siobhan began after he finished with Anna.
Heartbroken Anna said: "A month or so after they officially started going out I got an anonymous text saying they'd got engaged. I wish her all the best of luck. She might just need it."
