Guitarist James McVey, of The Vamps fame, has revealed that he loves when people tell him that his healthy lifestyle has inspired them.

The star shared a screenshot of a direct message he received on Twitter, in which a fan tells him that she has been influenced by his passion for fitness and ended up losing 11kg. The heartthrob told his followers: "Absolutely LOVE hearing people who have changed their lifestyles and made a real difference! GREAT work cat!"

Back in March, McVey praised fellow musician Sam Smith for overhauling his diet and getting fit, and tweeted: "Just heard about @samsmithworld being crazy dedicated in the gym and losing weight at a crazy rate. AMAZING. Not that he needed to!"

The Vamps, meanwhile, are currently on their UK headlining tour and will perform tomorrow night (May 7) in Cardiff, Wales. They shared a tweet with their fans via their collective group account and thanked everyone for being so enthusiastic about their live dates: "We are so grateful to you guys for getting us this far. This tour is sick!"
