Aston Merrygold has given up looking for love.

The JLS singer has been single for some time but insists he is no longer interested in having a girlfriend because he is so busy with his pop career.

He said:'' I've decided to give up on the girlfriend hunt, I'm not really too fussed.

''I've got lots of things to look forward to in the year, so I'm just going to take those opportunities and date.''

While Aston's bandmates Marvin Humes and J.B. Gill are both in relationships, Oritse Williams is also single but is enjoying finding the time to meet people and says he goes on ''lots'' of dates.

Oritse said: ''Everyone's been speculating about me having a girlfriend. I go on lots of dates but I don't actually have a girlfriend.''

Oritse recently gave himself a makeover and dyed his hair, which he says he did in order to ''evolve as an artist''.

He told TOTP magazine: ''It's still bronze. The decision behind it was just me wanting to evolve as an artist a little bit more. Like, will it assist in the Evolution of Oritse Williams. I wanted to try it and worked. It definitely got me more female attention anyway.''
