The former 'X Factor' star has insisted he "doesn't care" for being a celebrity, but admitted he needs to work diligently in order to pay his bills.

Myles - who starred on the ITV show in 2017 - said on his YouTube channel: "Being a celebrity, or famous, for me doesn't mean anything. It does not mean a single thing to me.

"I've still got to earn money to pay the bills for my house. I've still got to go to work and do everything. With music, it starts as a hobby and becomes a job. At the end of the day, now music is paying the bills so now we've got to work 10 times harder at it. We've got to keep our business afloat.

"I mean, being a celebrity, or famous, for me, like I said - I don't care for it. It doesn't mean much to me."

Despite this, Myles still appreciates the support of his fans.

The music star - who formed Rak Su with his childhood pals Ashley Fongho, Jamaal Shurland and Mustafa Shurland - loves it when fans ask him for a photo when he's out and about.

He said: "It's nice getting recognition for what you're doing for a living ... So when somebody comes up on the street and says, 'I love your music or can I get a photo?' It means a lot. It does feel good because it means you're doing something right."

Myles also insisted that in spite of his fame and success, he's determined to remain humble.

He explained: "For me, I keep my circle tight. I keep my head to the ground.

"I'd like to think I'm very humble and I work hard for what I've got - for my house, for my car and the life I live. I've got the same friends I grew up with in Watford, still live in Watford.

"I'm a very home person and my close-knit circle are the people I still mess around with."
