The funny thing is that The X Factor brought my parents closer. My mum has remarried now and I get on really well with her husband Chris, but my dad didn’t know him very well. Because they were talking all the time I was in the show and all travelling to London to see me, they started to get along really well. I remember my stepdad being in my house, putting the kettle on and chatting to my dad, and I was saying to my brother Greg, ‘Is this really happening?’ In fact, my dad and brother didn’t always get on, but they too are now getting on much better, so the show has kind of brought everyone together… it’s the 1D family!
