The Vamps' James reveals fitness inspiration: 'I wanted to be this dude so much'

Hitmaker James McVey has revealed his source of motivation for getting fit and admitted that he had a goal and went after it, and feels a great sense of accomplishment from that. 

Writing on his official Instagram page earlier (July 18), the heartthrob explained that his initial point of inspiration for getting into shape was the photograph of the male model that graces Hollister's shopping bags:

"Interesting for me to look back to the picture on the left - this bag sat in my bedroom for months when I was 17. This is because THIS bag was what inspired me to started to train; in fact, I became obsessed with this picture. I wanted to be this dude so much... Haha!"

He went onto talk about his own fitness progress, adding that he found the motivation to train and has never looked back because he is starting to get the results he wanted: "The picture in the top right is me age 17, the time I had this bag in my bedroom. Bottom right is me this morning. Sometimes you need to set yourself goals in life."
