Stormzy's Biggest Fear Is Something Really Wild

The grime star is a bit of a scaredy cat when it comes to one particular wild animal

Chart topping Grime star Stormzy is apparently terrified of tigers.

The Big For Your Boots star is said to be so scared of the big cats that he almost pulled out of appearing on The X Factor - which saw him jet to South Africa to assist Nicole Scherzinger in picking her top choices to go through to the live rounds of the long-running ITV show.

A source has blabbed to the Daily Star on Sunday that Stormzy (whose real name is Michael Owuo, Jr.) claiming he almost pulled out over fears of running into a tiger - despite the animals being native to Asia, not Africa.

"Stormzy is absolutely terrified of tigers,” the source claims.

"He was later overheard joking that he almost pulled out of filming because he was so scared,” they added.

The scaredy cat antics are unlikely to damage Stormzy’s ultra-cool status, however.

The star is still looked up to by many, despite the fact he he seems to be going out of his way to trash his own credibility.

The star started out as a credible grime artist only to offer vocals on a generic pop hit with Little Mix and lower himself to being a guest judge on The X Factor.

Stormzy also continues to support the Labour party despite concerns of misogyny, sexism, anti-Semitism and corruption growing within the political party while leader Jeremy Corbyn does next to nothing to combat it.
