Craig David has confessed that he hasn’t had sex for over a year.
The singer-songwriter revealed he is refraining from sexual relationships so he can get to a healthy place in time for his next relationship.
Talking to Louis Theroux on his Podcast, he said he was hoping to stop himself from making similar mistakes in the future.
The 42-year-old said he was used to short-term relationships however said they left him unfulfilled.
This has then prompted him to go on a dating detox and decided to reign “the whole thing back”.
Craig said: “I realised that me not having healed my own issues meant I was never in a position to be open to someone else.

“So I realised I had to pull back from all of this and this has been the past couple of years really.
“Which does mean not outwardly going on dates, the sexual interactions are going to have to stop now, just cut that off.”
When Louis asked him if this meant he wasn’t having sex, Craig answered: “For quite a while now. Maybe a year or so.”

He continued: “I’ve realised that the energetic exchange between two people is so powerful that unless the two of you are on such a level, you don’t need saving here, you don’t need to heal me and I don’t need to heal you, and we’re both meeting people at a good and healthy place, that’s the start of a relationship.
“I need a real relationship now, this is not about looking beautiful, this is not about the aesthetics.”
