Jahmene Douglas might seem like a bubbling, tumultuous fire pit of barely-concealed rage and just insane levels of horniness, but he actually like nothing more than sitting down and knitting a lovely scarf.

That's what The X Factor star recently said at TalkTalk's secret gig this week, anyway.

Scarf arfs

Jahmene also took time out from knitting things and laughing nervously to praise mentor Nicole Scherzinger, who he revealed had introduced him to beau Lewis Hamilton's family. Nope, we don't know why, either. That's just how Nicole do.

"I was actually at her video shoot earlier this day," said Jahmene, as a press officer starts waving a copy of Public Speaking For Dummies around in the background. "This day? Today. It's going to be amazing." It's today, Jahmene. Deep breaths.

"I've met Lewis and Lewis's side of the family. They just get along so well."

He also admitted the star he would most like to kiss under the mistletoe is Halle Berry. You don't want to go there, mate.

You'll get beat down

Meanwhile, Nicole took to Twitter this week to confirm the title of her new single would be Boomerang. Do you want to see an Instagram picture from her video shoot? You do. You want to see an Instagram picture from her video shoot. BOOM:
