Nick Grimshaw always felt as if he 'didn't fit in'.
The former radio host, 39, explained to the upcoming Easter edition of the Radio Times magazine that he was always an 'outsider' but no longer cares and finds it 'attractive' when people embrace themselves for who they truly are.
He said: 'I've felt like an outsider quite a lot in my life. In school, I felt like I didn't fit in.
'When I was younger, what I thought was cool or popular was potentially superficial or followed the stereotypical things we'd see in films, like people having a six-pack.
'I don't care now! When people are truly themselves, that's so attractive, and I'm drawn to that.
