I was always called Payne or Payno.

I’ve still got both kidneys, but one doesn’t work, so I have to be careful not to drink too much, even water, and I have to keep myself as healthy as possible.

It’s important to have a life outside the band.

People sometimes ask if I want to be a solo artist, but it just wouldn’t be any fun being on your own.

One Direction have to do their own ironing you don’t see Take That doing their own ironing!

It’s so amazing to hear a crowd of people singing one of your songs. It’s the best feeling.

One girl was the inspiration for me singing ‘Cry Me A River’ on The X Factor. That was my payback to her because she was unfaithful.

On a scale of one to ten, I’m probably a six when it comes to flirting. I’m quite shy.

I think sometimes I don’t realise how much the pressure gets to me.

I have a phobia of spoons I haven’t used one in about 10 years.
