The British singing sensation says there is no substitute for chatting people up in the flesh and says looks count for nothing – especially online. ‘From my experience the most beautiful people I’ve been on dates with are the dumbest, so why would I swipe people who are “unattractive” when I could potentially fall in love with them?,’ he explained. ‘Stop Tinder and Grindr!’

And the romantic’s anti-cyber approach has paid off, although he refuses to name the lucky fella.

‘I’ve been on a couple of dates. I’m good at dates,’ the 22-year-old explained on the In:Demand show backstage at the V Festival.

‘I used to get really nervous but now I’m better. There is one particular guy that I’ve been on a few dates with. I like him but who knows?’
