Look, I’m in my 20s and I’ve dated people and for some reason that is very crazy and interesting to people. I don’t think it’s that interesting. I’ve been in showbusiness for half my life almost, for like 14, 15 years, and on a national TV show.”

He added: “And in 12 years, I’ve dated like, 10 people, I don’t really think that’s that crazy. But to some people, it seems very interesting. That became all anyone would talk about.”
