The 38-year-old pop star said he had given up alcohol and admitted it could make him go \u201ca bit mad\u201d.<\/p>\n
The \u201cHeart Skips a Beat\u201d hitmaker \u2013 who shot to fame on \u201cThe X Factor\u201d in 2009 \u2013 shared: \u201cI\u2019ve not been drinking for a year. I\u2019ve done 365 days. Just a personal thing, I like little victories.\u201d<\/p>\n
Murs conceded that overindulging on alcohol \u201ccan lead to bad s*** happening\u201d.<\/p>\n
He told MailOnline: \u201cI\u2019m not someone who has ever struggled with drink \u2013 it was just something I felt like I wanted to do for a year and challenge myself. I just think sometimes drinking can lead to bad s*** happening.\u201d<\/p>\n
Despite this, Murs would\u2019ve loved to have had a drink when he got engaged to girlfriend Amelia Tank earlier this year.<\/p>\n
Asked if he missed anything about drinking, Murs replied: \u201cI don\u2019t miss it at all. Only once when we got engaged I was devastated I couldn\u2019t have a little tipple.\u201d<\/p>\n
Murs has become much more health-conscious since he started dating Tank.<\/p>\n
But while his fianc\u00e9e is a fitness fanatic, Murs previously admitted that he still loved some unhealthy treats.<\/p>\n
Speaking about his lockdown experience, Murs said in an Instagram Live video: \u201cI have this issue that Amelia will open a bag of Maltesers Buttons. She\u2019ll only have like three or four but then I\u2019ll finish the pack.<\/p>\n
\u201cI haven\u2019t got the discipline. I can\u2019t put it to the side. Once I\u2019ve opened it I have to finish them.<\/p>\n
\u201cBeing at home, the fridge has become a best friend to all of us when we\u2019re bored.<\/p>\n
\u201cSo what\u2019s happened is now that I\u2019m at home more I\u2019m having to fight my demons. I think if I can do it at home, I can do it anywhere. I\u2019m being good.\u201d<\/p>\n
