Will Young was left shaking with fear during his trapeze-themed video shoot for new single Jealousy - because he's secretly afraid of heights.

The Leave Right Now hitmaker plays a trainee trapeze artist in the promo, but he admits mastering the skill was tough.

He tells British morning show Daybreak, "When I thought of the idea I just thought spangly outfits, I didn't think height - and actually I'm not very good with heights.

"I turned up and I'm 10 metres up in the air and I'm properly shaking - you'll see later. I don't know why I'm doing this, I suddenly thought, 'Why didn't I just run through a field of lavender?'

“It feels like 30 metres high even though it's really 10 - the scariest bit is you have to lean out and that just feels so unnatural when you're that high up, to catch the trapeze... and it's really heavy and it's pulling you out.

"It's the most terrifying thing. I am quite nervous but I have no-one else to blame but myself!"
