One fifth of the popular former boy band The Wanted, Nathan Sykes not long ago took the plunge to go solo.

The 22-year-old singer-songwriter came to the KMTV studios for an intimate session with 10 lucky kmfm competition winners.

There were tears, selfies and dizzy moments for the lucky few as he gave them a taste of his re-invented sound.

The Kiss Me Quick singer popped into KMTV's state-of-the-art studio at the University of Kent Medway campus, as part of his live lounge style tour across the country.

Nathan had a chat with kmfm's Glen Scott on the three-camera set, where he spoke about his new song Over and Over Again, which is officially released on Friday, November 20.

"I was sat there one day and was like this should be the next single."

Nathan was a member in The Wanted, who formed as a band in 2009.
