The talented singer-songwriter and producer spoke to More magazine about the things that are important in his life and admitted that while he has a girlfriend and loves spending time outside of the studio, music is very much his first love.

When asked whether he prefers football or sex, he quickly replied: "Sex, no hesitation. I don't really follow football. But if you asked me to choose between sex and music, that would be hard. I'd have to say music. Oh god, my girl is going to kill me!"

Labrinth also explained how he can tell if a girl really gets him by the gifts she picks out, adding: "The best present a girl could buy me would be a guitar. If she bought me one, I'd know she really understood me."

The Metro had quoted the star - who is on Simon Cowell's record label - as saying that the TV show is "absolute s**t".

However, Labrinth took to Twitter today to deny the quotes and claimed that they were "reconstructed words". He said:

"I've gotta give it to the metro paper for there amazing ability to reconstruct words in controversial bullsh*t..."

He continued: "Come on now why would I sh*t on my own family."

Labrinth meanwhile recently teased a still photo from the video for his upcoming single 'Express Yourself', which saw him sit nearly almost down in a chair.

This will be the next cut to be taken from his new studio album, 'Electronic Earth', and he took to his official Twitter page earlier this evening (April 24) to ask fans if they're excited about the upcoming video:

"TeamLab, here's a shot from from the #ExpressYourself video shoot. Who’s excited for this video to drop? Lab HQ"

The picture he shared with his 390,000 Twitter followers shows him laying almost upside-down on a chair while wearing a jazzy shirt, shades and jean shorts.

Labrinth, real name Timothy McKenzie, also revealed that his recent single 'Earthquake' has reached a milestone down under and added:

"Gone double platinum with #Earthquake in Australia thanks to everyone that bought the record see you guys there soon."
