I had some glamour models messaging me on Twitter and saying they think I'm hot, but I'm being careful.

I don't have anything against SyCo or 'X Factor' or any of that. I'm just a guy who got really afraid of not being in control.

I'm 100 million percent not homophobic. I despise that label being attached to me.

I was having anxiety attacks, calling ambulances out and saying I was having a heart attack, as there was something weird going on with my body and mind.

I didn't realise how devastating my behavior could be - looking back, I'm very embarrassed. I just buckled under the anxiety.

I probably suffered with depression.

There is a lot of pressure on pop stars, and I think a lot of it is the pressure that we put on ourselves. In our minds, we build up these huge, huge standards that we think people want from us, and actually, when you break it down, people just want you to make music and perform to the best of your ability, but anxiety can stop you from doing that.

I'm very much a 'boyfriend' type of guy. I've been in relationships since I was 16.

I really want to work with Eminem. I know it will never happen, but I would love if he let me do a hook on one of his songs or he featured on one of my songs. It would be incredible. I've just always admired him since I was young.

I'm a Honey G fan. She can spit some vibes on one of my songs; she's got rhymes for days! She's gangster. I love her.

My music is about love, and I don't discriminate against any type of person.

I've always maintained a good relationship with Simon Cowell, and obviously I have a great respect for him, and his show provided me with a platform to reach a lot of people, so I have the upmost respect for Simon Cowell.
