Mika has such bad OCD it takes him an hour to make a cup of tea.The 'Grace Kelly' singer has revealed he suffers from obsessive compulsive disorder and is very particular about the science of making the hot beverage.Mika said: "I never offer to make tea for anyone - it would take too long. "You've got to have a precise level of water in the pot, make sure the cup is in exactly the right place and so it goes on."The Lebanese singer also confessed he almost gave up his attempts to become a pop star and get a geography degree instead.He said: "I was 19, and thought, 'I'm a nutcase. What am I doing? Thinking I can write funny little songs for a living. I'd better get a degree.'"So I enrolled at the London School of Economics to study geography but once I looked at the textbooks I gave up on the first afternoon of the term."
