We chatted to McBusted star Dougie Poynter about life on tour, girlfriend Ellie Goulding, his love of fitness, and his dream fashion job.

Just in case you've been living under a rock for the past year, you might have missed the fact that Dougie Poynter got hot. Granted, he's always been good looking but ever since he became King of the Jungle, and bagged himself a global superstar of a girlfriend, his good looks have not gone unnoticed. Basically, if long hair, tattoos, abs of steel and stubble is your thing, you'll be a fan.

Dougie's sense of style has been amped up; whether he's just hanging out with his girlfriend in jeans and a T-Shirt, or sitting front row at Paris Fashion Week, he always seems to look stylish. He even founded his own clothing line - Saint Kidd - back in 2011, but could his future be in fashion and not music?

When we chatted to the 27-year-old he revealed who he looks to for style inspiration, and told us that it's "usually people from the past", and that he loves "Jim Morrison, Keith Richards, Johnny Depp - maybe not from the past, he's the most recent one - and anything Hedi Slimane at Saint Laurent does is amazing."

When we asked if he'd ever do a fashion campaign - perhaps, y'know, if Burberry should ask - he said: "Totally! One million percent - I'd pay them to do it!"

C'mon Christopher Bailey, what are you waiting for?

The McBusted star also revealed that his body is a temple, and if you follow him on Instagram, you might know that already.

"Fitness is my thing. As a band we stay in shape on tour so that we can put up with what we do on stage. When we were younger and used to drink more, and eat crap, we couldn't perform nowhere near as well as what we do now - we wouldn't have the energy. As a band it's very important that we keep it up and that we can perform because the live shows are the most important thing."

If you missed the McBusted tour, do not worry, the new DVD - McBusted's Most Excellent Adventure Tour Live At The O2 - is out now. Talking about the gigs, Dougie told us that they're constantly running around on stage: "It's very knackering. I feel like like, Mr Motivator, - he's the only other person that would keep up with us. We don't like standing around not doing anything. We think we're being boring if we're not entertaining to watch. The only time we get a break is when we're singing."

We couldn't interview Dougie and NOT ask him about his girlfriend, Ellie Goulding.

Prior to our chat, he attended the 2015 GLAMOUR Awards with his girl, and was there to applaud her as she received the award for Solo Artist of the Year.

When Ellie took to the stage to accept her award, she gushed about Dougie and told the audience: "My boyfriend is the coolest person in the world. Definitely punching above my weight."

When we asked him what he thought about her saying this, he told us: "I wasn't expecting that! It's not true, obviously. It's the other way around."

Jeeze guys, you're both as hot as each other, and let that be the end of that.

McBusted's Most Excellent Adventure Tour - Live At The O2 is available on Blu-ray and DVD now.
