X Factor star Stevi Ritchie has revealed the hilarious truth behind his mankini TV appearance.
During an exclusive Facebook Live chat with showbiz reporter Carly Hacon, he opened up about his love for his Borat-like ensemble.
Over the years, the singer has frequently been spotted in the barely-there one-piece whether that’s on his 2015 Celebrity Big Brother stint or in hilarious social media clips.
Talking about the item, Stevi, 41, said: “I’ve got it hidden upstairs in my wardrobe so I’m not going to get it out anytime soon unless it’s for a TV show.
“I thought I’d be sensible but I was going to dress up in one of my outfits today but I thought I’d keep it professional and real, that is a little bit of a joke side to me and I’ve got one of those aprons when all the body is out and the willy is it out but I thought best not to offend people.

“But you never know it might make another appearance one day.”
But how do his fans react when he whacks it out?
He added: “Sometimes they DM me saying ‘put it away’ or ‘blimey, you hiding two sausages under there?’ or something.
“But it’s been such a long time since I put it on and I always have to put a sock for the c*** anyway, Carly, so there’s not much there.

“I’ve gotta be careful, so I put a bit of padding down there to make it look bigger.”
Talking about his future TV dreams, Stevi also revealed that he would love to be cast on the next series of I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here!
The singer explained: “I would love to do it and it’s probably a long shot but I would love to do the jungle.

“I would do it for free and I’m a big fan of it, the only thing I don’t like is spiders but bring it on.
“Even if I lasted for one or two weeks, that is my show, for the past eight years since leaving X Factor I’ve always wanted to do that show.”
Stevi starred on ITV’s X Factor back in 2014 and came sixth in the competition.
