25-year-old rapper Dizzee Rascal has revealed that he would one day like to have “loads” of children.

The star, who is currently single, already has a mind to settle down and impart his wisdom on a younger generation.

He said to Reveal Magazine: "I'd love to settle down and have loads of kids.

"I'd raise them properly and pass on all my knowledge. I would show them how to value life, as a lot of people don't.

"If you don't value your own life, you're never going to value anyone else's."

On his own childhood, Dizzee also discussed growing up in a poor estate in East London, saying that he’s proud of his background and loves to go back and visit.

"People always ask me if I've ever returned to my old stomping ground but I'm always there. I still have loads of friends who live on the estate.

"There was a lot that I loved about growing up. Now I look back and am glad I had those experiences. I learned the value of money and about community spirit.

"I felt more of a sense of community on a council estate than anywhere I've lived since."
