Tinie Tempah feels more "confident" around women because of his new exercise regime.

The 25-year-old rapper has transformed his physique in the gym in recent months, and admits he now feels "hotter" than ever.

He said: "Even when I date girls, there's so much of a difference when you're working out and taking pride in your appearance. You're more confident, you feel hotter.

"Exercise has definitely spilled over into everything else. Just knowing how hard you have to work; you realise it's no different to any other aspect of your life."

The 'Pass Out' hitmaker decided to get in shape because of the mental and physical challenges involved with a gruelling tour and now loves the buzz he gets from exercise.

Speaking to the new edition of Men's Health magazine, he said: "I was doing loads of touring off and I started to realise how much effort you have to put in and how much stamina you need; the stages were getting bigger, the sets were getting longer.

"So the physical aspect prompted me to go to the gym, but also the mental aspect. It's almost like a different kind of wake-up call. You wake up and go to the gym then you're really awake, because you're sweating, your heart rate's up... that was what kept me coming back.

"More so than it being about having everything, being in shape shows discipline and that you're not lazy within yourself."

The Men's Health Urban Active April issue is on sale now, and is also available in digital format.
