Talking to Now magazine, the No Regrets hitmaker revealed that while he was still a schoolboy he paid someone to ask for his autograph in a bid to make himself look famous, saying:

"When I was 15 I used to walk around with a pen in my pocket hoping that people would think I was famous and ask me for my autograph.

"My long-term girlfriend from Greece came over to England and I paid someone a fiver to ask me for my autograph.
