The 18-year-old ‘wild card’ contestant made his intimate revelation during a recent interview with a UK magazine.
The tattoo, he says, is not a souvenir from a drunken night out or a lad’s holiday in Magaluf. It actually has a special meaning…
Just kidding!
He said: “It’s a smiley face. It’s on my bottom.”
Awkwardly, he tried to pass the tattoo of as a sketch, which he regularly drew on his pert behind.
The singer said: “My parents knew because, I was getting out the car once because I went shopping with my dad, and I went to get some bags out of the boot, and he went, ‘Is that a tattoo?' and I went, ‘What, what? Nah, it's just a drawing.' And he was like, ‘who has drawn that on you?' After a while, I just had to admit it, because he kept seeing the ‘drawing’.”
Tune in to The X Factor, tonight at 8pm on ITV.
