Will Young "feels like a man" after putting on weight. The "Grace" singer has piled on the pounds after over-indulging on his favorite treats and alcohol but is reluctant to diet because he enjoys eating and drinking too much.

He said: "I look bigger than I used to but I feel like a man so I quite like it. I'd like to lose a bit off my tummy but that would mean I'd have to stop drinking beer."

Adele was thrown out of school because of Will Young. The "Chasing Pavements" singer used to be obsessed with the "Grace" star - who shot to fame after beating Gareth Gates in the final of U.K. TV talent show "Pop Idol" in 2002 - and once allowed her emotions to get her into trouble.

She revealed: "I'd like to work with Will Young, I adore Will Young, he's my first love, I was obsessed with him. I got chucked out of school for a week for having a fight with Gareth Gates fans. He doesn't believe me at all that I love him so much."

Will Young says he is "the worst gay person ever".

The 'Changes' singer - who came out shortly after winning British TV talent show 'Pop Idol' in 2002 - doesn't define himself by his sexuality and believes it is wrong to form opinions about people based on their bedroom antics.

Will Young wants to have a child. The gay singer says he dreams of settling down to raise a family, but admits it won't happen in the near future because he has split from his partner Conor.

He said: "I would love to be a parent one day. Obviously it won't be soon because I am still single. But having a family and bringing up children is something I've thought about a lot recently."

Will Young was "set on fire and struck by lightning" for his new video. The "Leave Right Now" singer was asked to perform his own daredevil stunts in the promo for "Changes" and loved the physical challenge.

He said: "I wanted to do something physical so there was drowning, more drowning, being set on fire, struck by lightning and then drowning again. We certainly got physical - it was pretty full on."
