The boy band - made up of Myles Stephenson, Mustafa Rahimtulla, Ashley Fongho, and Jamaal Shurland - have insisted that they won't be drinking as they've learned from other musician's mistakes - and want to build up their career after winning 'The X Factor' rather than go out and party.

Speaking to the Daily Star's Wired column, Myles said: "One thing that we have learned and that the boys have personally taught me is that hard work does pay off.

"Before the 'X Factor' shows we were having like two hours of sleep a night tops. With previous acts, I can't vouch for how hard they've worked, but we will continue to try our hardest."

Ashley explained the the group understand the effort it will take to build a long-lasting career, and said they can save the celebrating until they're "done".

He added: "We are just aware we have a lot of work to do to build our careers for the rest of our lives, once that's done then we can party and celebrate."

The 'I'm Feeling You' hitmakers are conscious of riding off others' success - and despite having been offered the chance to work with girl band Little Mix they want to avoid collaborations until they have developed their career further.

Ashley said: "We love the Little Mix girls and know if we called them they'd probably say yes but we want to be at the right level of success so we feel we deserve it.

"So we feel it's mutual rather than them doing us a favour."

The group have also denied rumours that they will be supporting fellow 'X Factor' alumni Olly Murs on his tour next year.

He joked: "We've got to keep him and Myles away from each other. I think they'll end up wreaking havoc."
