The 31-year-old singer - who shot into the limelight seven years ago when he competed on 'The X Factor' with his sister Sarah Smith - has stripped off to flash his chiseled abs as he gears up to drop his new track 'Turn Me On' next month.

He explained: "I have matured as a performer and so has my singing style and image. My debut solo single 'Turn Me On' is due for release next month, along with a hot video to accompany it which I hope will appeal to a wider audience as well as my fantastically loyal fans who have stayed with me since the Same Difference days."

The handsome star is also working on his new debut album as well as a second single and is thrilled he's finally cut ties with his sister in order to carve out a career on his own.

He said: "The album is well underway and we are already working on the second single so it's a busy time but I am thrilled to be standing on my own two feet."

Despite turning his back on Same Difference, Sean has admitted he's open to reforming with Sarah in the future.

He explained: "The Same Difference studios are very lucrative and Sarah is doing extremely well running them. I'm so proud of her and it's certainly her calling, her way of giving back! However, as we are brother and sister it is always something we can come back to in the future if we both wanted to, we'll never say never!"

'Turn Me On' is set for release on September 23.
