Meanwhile, speaking on the Daze podcast, Wes admitted he avoided music at school because he was too shy to show his talent.

He said: "I wasn’t confident enough then. I used to envy the music class, seeing them playing and singing, and wished I could do it. I was too scared to get judged.

"If I could go back now and do it, I would.

"The first time I sang outside my shower, in front of my parents, or anyone, was on The X Factor: Celebrity [last year] in front of millions. That threw me in the deep end."

Furthermore, Wes previously explained to The Sun that he's not only secured his own financial future but those of any children he has too.

Last year, he shared: "I was a millionaire by the age of 21. And that’s not being a show off or anything, but it’s wise investments and understanding this life doesn’t last forever.

"I’ve been lucky to have so many shows under my belt, and I’m super grateful for that.

"I have a passive income and generational wealth, so my children, whenever they come about, they’re not going to have to work again. I don’t have to work again."
