Speaking to BBC Breakfast earlier today (August 10), he explained that the estimated 1 billion people figure was so intimidating that he kept himself grounded and calm by focusing on the event itself and his dancers:

"I wasn't thinking about the billion people. To me, I wasn't even thinking about the people around me in the stadium too much."

"I kind of knew I was performing to the dancers, because they had so much energy, and so much positivity, so I was kind of performing to them. And that just kind of made it easier."

He has also released a new track, 'Scream', to commemorate the Olympics and added that it's been a fantastic thing to be involved in because it helps bring communities together:

"I don't know about the whole community, because obviously, over there, in the estate where I'm from, some people don't feel a big part of it."

"But it is a time when the world's coming together, it's a good time for some realisation. I didn't want it to be about, 'yeah, winning, winning, winning.' I want it to be positive but I want people to know about what's going on in the world."
