We already knew that London 2012 gymnast Louis Smith was a talented chap. Model good looks, a ripped body, an eye for fashion... oh, and he's pretty nifty on the pommel horse too apparently. He even won a bronze medal yesterday. Hurrah!
But the 22-year-old's talents don't stop there - he also fancies himself as a bit of a singer too, so much so that he auditioned for The X Factor four years ago.
Speaking to the Radio Times, he said: "It was a bit of fun. I had to make a decision when I was 8 and got offered a scholarship in singing either to do that full time or carry on with gym. I chose gym."
And it seems Louis hasn't completely ruled out going back to singing once his gymnastics career comes to an end.
In 2009, he told The Telegraph: “I'm still continuing with my training, but you've got to think about what you are going to do afterwards.
“I have made it through to the fourth round of X Factor, which is when I get to appear on television and meet Simon Cowell and the rest of the judges for the first time. I just really want to hear what Simon says about my voice – whether he thinks I could make it as a solo singer.”
And fellow Team GB competitor Beth Tweddle has revealed that Louis' passion for music is still very much alive.
"He likes to be the centre of attention," she said. "In the gym, you'll be training and suddenly he'll break into song.
"If I broke into song, people would wonder what was wrong with me, but that's Louis."
