Taking to Instagram on Friday night, the 25-year-old updated fans on the last few years.

He joked to the camera: "What have I been up to all this time? Working away, bought a house, joined the Illuminati.

"Very big for me to get to work with the guys and gals over there. Great bunch. Jay-Z, Paul McCartney, Simon Cowell. Very lucky to go and work with them. I was hoping I would get the call and I did."
