Louis Smith: 'Auditioning For 'The X Factor' Was A Bit Of Fun' (VIDEO)

LISTEN: Louis Smith Sings (VIDEO)

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.

And it seems Louis hasn't completely ruled out going back to singing once his gymnastics career comes to an end.

“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."

Watch the video (above) to hear Louis sing and let us know if you'd put him through to the next round (or not) before gazing at our rather lovely gallery below...
