Mika is terrified of water.The 'Grace Kelly' singer has such a phobia of anything wet he claims he wouldn't swim with fish even if he was offered £1 million.Mika said: "I have a phobia of anything that's in the water. I hate water. I'll go to the beach but I won't go in. I wouldn't swim with fish for £1 million." Despite his fear, the 24-year-old singer insists he is still a very adventurous person.He revealed: "I went caving on my holidays, and I went ice-climbing at Christmas."However, Mika admits he was not so athletic at school and once had the unpleasant experience of being initiated into the rugby team.The 'Relax Take It Easy' singer confessed: "I managed to skip pretty much every rugby game at my school, so by the time I actually got one, they decided to give me the initiation which involved me lying on the floor in the mud with everyone putting one foot on my back. I had to stay there for 15 minutes and I couldn't breathe - I had it up my nose!"
