I like the term 'misunderstood.' But I am a bit of a bad boy.
Everyone happens for a reason, learn it and move on. Don't be bitter about what happened, be happy about what will
I'm not one to get involved with what anyone says about me.
I can't swim but if my girlfriend was drowning, I'd still dive in to save her.
When we were on 'The X Factor,' we didn't realize how overnight the fame thing was. We didn't really understand it until we went on a shopping trip. It was like Week 7 or 8 of the show. We went with a few other contestants and there were loads of people, packed.
I do feel like I've missed out a bit because I was really close with my sisters when I was at home. It must be weird for them but they cope really well.
I'm a couch potato. I love to stay in and just watch a DVD with the missus. Or we all go over to Louis's house and watch 'X Factor.'
I've got three sisters, five aunties, and my mom. It must have had an influence on me growing up.
I'd call myself the mediator. I kind of just float around and do my own thing. I'm kind of chilled out, laid back.
