The 22-year-old singer has received lots of attention since he quickstepped onto the BBC Latin and ballroom competition in December, but his inbox is mostly full of notes from grannies.

Asked if he has had mums messaging him, he told The Sun newspaper's Bizarre column: “MILFs? Do you know what, I think it’s NILFs actually. There’s a lot of nans in my DMs.”

A number of his fans have also spotted him in restaurants, and have praised him for making it to the final.

HRVY - whose real name is Harvey Cantwell - added: “I get recognised now. In restaurants, when I take my mask off and sit down, I have quite a few nans and older people come up and say, ‘We watched you on the show, you did really well’, that’s really nice.”

Although the 22-year-old singer has received plenty of offers, he is not looking for a relationship and confirmed he and his 'Strictly' co-star Maisie Smith are just friends following speculation the pair may have hit it off backstage.

He explained: “Nothing happened. It was funny to watch everyone talk about it. Sometimes we were like, ‘Shall we play up to it?’ We are really good friends and still speak.

“I thought she did great with all the pressure she was under as a lot of the public weren’t too kind to her at the beginning, but it was cool to see her be strong. People changed their view on her.

“Everyone, especially at the moment, is saying, ‘You should be strong and confident,' but as soon as someone who is beautiful and confident and talented shows it and believes in it, they go, ‘That’s too cocky, you can’t do that.' It’s hard, but she did amazing.”
