X Factor Matt Cardle and  Aiden Grimshaw reportedly ran up an £8,000 bar bill as they celebrated New Year’s Eve.

The X Factor winner Matt Cardle treated a group of friends including his former housemate to a party at the Tup Tup Palace nightclub in Newcastle upon Tyne. They reportedly all left through the back door at 3am.

The Sun report that the raucous group enjoyed four bottles of Ace of Spades champagne, three of Havana rum, three of Jagermeister, four of Grey Goose Vodka and 50 bottles of beer. The party then returned to their city hotel, where Cardle and Grimshaw continued to drink for another three hours.

A source told the newspaper:

“The boys looked like they were having a great time and were definitely a hit with the ladies. Drinks were flowing all night long.”

The source added that Cardle and his management team split the bar tab between them.
