Admitting at first he was a little apprehensive about being filmed, that all contributed to him not speaking much, and added: "At first it was new to me, so I was just a bit shy, and then it kind of evolved into a running thing - 'When's Jay going to speak? When's Jay going to talk?'.
"It was only a snippet but at the end of season four, for The X Factor finals, I was actually speaking, so that was good. Hopefully, more talking will come in the future."
He added: "They just edit the bits where I talk out. I mean, whenever The X Factor comes on, I'm always very vocal, but those bits never make it onto the show because it's become a running joke that I never say anything."
Despite some reports claiming that his break-up with girlfriend Eve was pushing him to quit the show, he also revealed he's signed up with the Woerdenweber family for another series alongside his ex-partner.
Jay went on to insist that it's never awkward when filming with his ex and her family, even though she now has a new boyfriend.
"Hands down, she is one of the loveliest girls I've ever met. We have known each other for too long to throw a friendship away over it."
