Yesterday, Ben Haenow took over our Twitter account for a live Q&A session. The X Factor champion is currently touring the UK but he found time in his busy schedule to connect with fans and answer their burning questions. Here’s ten things we learnt.

1. Ben’s favourite thing about touring is getting to see some of his most dedicated fans. Isn’t that lovely?

2. His incredible new song ‘Rising’ was mostly written in just one day but other tracks can take a few weeks to finish.

3. He’s a true romantic. Ben’s love for his fiancé Jess is seriously too adorable for words.
Jess is the best gift I've ever had! She is my everything and my rock #SoppyGitButNotSorry https://t.co/xJKg8XHM6a

6. If Ben had a superpower, he’d love to be able to fly. It’s a bird… it’s a plane… it’s Ben Haenow!
I'd love to be able to fly!! ?.. but I'm scared of heights so not sure how I'd deal with it ? https://t.co/wcWwcKhQky

7. He feels that relating to lyrics can make or break a song.
I think it's making it relatable and true to you.. no good singing something if it's not from the heart.. so dishonesty is a song killer https://t.co/XuYdn2Tn9I

8. If Ben could swap lives with any other celebrity for the day, he’d pick legendary nature expert Sir David Attenborough.
David Attenborough… the man has seen and done some incredible thing https://t.co/HY3fcCcxBp

9. Ben knows three ‘eggcelent’ words to describe himself.

10. If he had to go to a desert island, Ben’s first choice of partner would be his brother Alex. That’s brotherly love at its finest!
I'd take @Alexxx335 a guitar and a bottle of @JackDanielsUK https://t.co/fMQ2saUxiR
