The ‘Nice to Meet Ya’ singer admitted he never usually starts his festive shopping until a few days before December 25, but he’s “done really well” this year as he noted down something Lucciana Beynon mentioned she’d like several months ago.

He said: “I’ve done really well this year, I’ve noted it down in my notes page. She said, ‘Oh I’d love one of them’, she didn’t mean it like that but it was a couple of months ago, it’s a seven or eight month run up to Christmas, so she’s going to forget about it.”

However, Wes admitted his strategy was risky.

He told BANG Showbiz: “Hopefully she doesn’t buy it [before then] because otherwise it’ll be a last-minute petrol station job.”

Meanwhile, Wes recently confessed that he never expected his music career to do so well.

The TV star always wanted to make records and he's excited to see what the future holds because he's already surpassed anything he dreamed could happen.

Asked if music was always his plan after 'Love Island', he said: "It was always the intention. I suppose you can only have expectations, so I kind of did, but not to this scale, as soon as it did.

"It’s been really exciting. It’s only the start, it’s by no means the end, I’m excited to see where it goes."

Wes also insisted he's not worried about being labelled because of his reality TV past.

He shared: "I don’t mind any of the labels people give me. I just know who I am as a person and I’m happy intrinsically with that, whatever people want to see me as they can. I just know that I love making music and I’ll keep going regardless."
