#ZaynOldInterview When did you first realise you wanted to sing? I was about nine years old. I joined the school choir and realised from then that it was something I wanted to pursue. Did you think you’d come this far on X Factor? I planned to audition last year but got too scared, and at the very last minute didn’t turn up. In fact I wasn’t going to this year either but my mum dragged me along to it! I never expected to get through the first audition, so being here right now doesn’t feel real. You seem like the shy type… Definitely! I’m not your most outgoing person, I’m quite reserved, which I really can’t afford to be in this industry. So I am learning to be more confident and outgoing. Simon Cowell forcing me to dance when I was ready to chicken out really helped my confidence. How are you dealing with the screaming female fans? I think it’s nice to have support from anyone out there but for them to be female is always better! To be called a heartthrob is obviously flattering and I appreciate it, but it’s a bit weird. So are you comfortable dancing now? I did ordinary dancing at weddings and what not, but it was never my thing. But I have professional choreographers helping me out now so it’s less daunting. Does fame suit you? It’s very strange because it’s been such an overnight thing – one minute nobody knows who you are, and the next you’re being viewed by 16 million people! It’s a surreal feeling meeting people who know you already. I’m too shocked to let it get to my head! How are you getting on with the boys? They’re great but as you’ve probably seen, our room isn’t in a very nice state and it does stress me out a bit – I’m very organised and like to keep my things in order. So it’s something I have to deal with seeing as there are five of us sharing one room! Are you currently single? Yes, although if someone catches my eye they’ll know. But if you happen to talk to Katrina Kaif… Why are One Direction the next big thing? There isn’t a boy band out there that is as young and diverse as us, with so many blends of voices in one. Your folks must be over the moon! I’ve always felt like I’ve had the best of both worlds from my parents. In terms of heritage, music, tastes, everything. I’m very close to my dad, he’s like my best friend… but I am pretty much a mummy’s boy. She does everything for me! -Amanat
