The images of Tom getting the tattoo were followed by the lyrics of It Can’t Be Christmas ‘Have I went stupid? Maybe. Have I gone crazy? Someone can save me.’ The reveal of Christmas Number 1 on Friday will be the jury’s turn!’

Speaking to broadcaster Roman Kemp for mental health charity YoungMinds, Tom said: ‘Something dramatic happened to me where I just found myself in this sinking hole.
‘I couldn’t get out of bed, I thought the whole world was against me. I thought I wasn’t good enough, I had never been one to talk about my feelings, especially to my friends and also not to my parents.
“So then I started writing little notes in a notebook and then picked up a guitar.”
