R: After the X Factor, people had been
following you for many weeks and with that
comes fame, followers and fans, was that
hard to get used to?
Sometimes I am really with it and I can deal
with it, and there are other days where, well,
for example, there was a time when I was ill
for a couple of weeks and I didn’t leave the
house much.
Then when I left I totally forgot who I was and
I was in a shop and someone was staring at
me, and I thought “have I got something on
my face what’s going on?”
Then I remembered why they were starring
at me!
R: Have you been watching this years show?
R: As we enter the New Year what can we
look forward to?
A tour, we are planning the tour, which I am
so excited about, performing live is one of my
favourite things to do.
R: Do you have a preference about where
you perform?
It completely depends what mood I am in.
I think if I am feeling pumped and energetic, a
massive arena.
On other days when you are feeling maybe
creative or super inspired, you want an
intimate audience that you can really just
connect with and look into peoples eyes and
just see them singing back to you.
Yeah, I love the new studio, this year’s judges
are my favourite judges they are the perfect
combination.
I’d say it just depends on how I am feeling.
R: I guess it’s nice to have the best of both?
R: Would you like to think that people will
now recognize you as Matt Terry and not the
X Factor winner and contestant?
I feel like it’s so important to remember where
you came from.
I wouldn’t be here without the show, so I will
always be super grateful, but yeah, to be fair it
was always like “that guy from the X Factor,”
but I haven’t had that in such a long time now
but I know of course I am always going to be
known as an X Factor contestant.
Yeah, definitely.
R: Well, we are really looking forward to
the tour next year and I hope the album
continues with its success.
Thank you so much, its been great speaking
with you.

I really don’t mind, but it is nice to be known
as Matt Terry.
Even now with bands like Little Mix, they
are still part of the X Factor family and its
something we should all always be grateful for.
