He continued: “But everything else and stuff like girls? It doesn’t really bother me at the moment and I’m quite happy just working on my career.
“Obviously, if it was Rihanna, that would be mental. You never know . . . “
The star also revealed there is no hard feelings between him and his ex Megan who has returned to her glamour modelling roots on OnlyFans.
Wes went on to reveal he made a million by the age of 21, he said: “I was a millionaire at 21. That’s not showing off or anything.”
He continued: “I think just by wise investments, understanding that this lifestyle doesn’t last forever, you’ve got to be able to invest and grow, grow what you have, I’ve done well.
“I buy a lot of clothes. That’s about it. I’m more of a garments guy.
“I like things that you can’t get. That’s what I like. I like rare clothes.
“But I haven’t changed. Circumstances have changed — the way that I live is different than it was before — but I haven’t changed. I’m still Wes from Stoke.
“The only thing that’s changed over this past two years is my confidence. And that can’t be taught.”
