Jay McGuiness halted his life for 'Strictly Come Dancing.'
The former Wanted singer, 25, may have walked away with this year's Glitterball Trophy over the weekend but is now on a mission to piece his life back together after he was forced to suspend his daily routine while training for the BBC show.
Speaking on 'The Chris Evans Breakfast Show' this morning (21.12.15), he said: "I think, right now, my main job is to slowly piece my life back together. Whilst 'Strictly' happens, your whole life goes on hold and now I need to do boring admin ready for the rest of my life."
And the handsome star, who slumped into last place on the leader board after the judges dished out their scores, is considering getting a tattoo to commemorate his win after he beat Kellie Bright and Georgia May Foote to the top-spot.
Asked if he'll get an inking in honour of 'Strictly', he said: "I always collect tattoos when something awesome has happened or something I want to remember, so yeah - why not? We'll see."
However, Jay is adamant he won't get the name of his professional dance partner Aliona Vilani, whom he's rumoured to have a soft spot for, etched onto his flesh because it would cause too many problems for her husband.
He joked: "I can't face the controversy!"

Shona McGarty is "upset and shocked" after being caught up in a revenge porn plot.
The 24-year-old 'EastEnders' actress called in the police after discovering that someone was trying to sell intimate pictures of her taken when she was younger and which she believes were stolen.
A source told the Sunday Mirror newspaper: "It's absolutely awful and very upsetting for Shona. She's determined to do whatever's necessary to prevent the circulation of these intimate pictures.
"They were stolen a number of years ago and the thought that they are still being passed around all these years later is obviously a shock for her."
Revenge porn is defined by the law as "distributing without the person's permission and with intent to cause harm or distress" and carries a two-year jail sentence.
The insider added: "It's a good thing that a law has now been introduced to prevent this sort of thing. She does plan to report this to the police and use that to make sure this is the end of the matter."
Shona - who joined the BBC soap in 2008 - plays Queen Vic barmaid Whitney Dean.

Shona McGarty's dad is dressing up as a turkey for Christmas, and her mum is going to be an elf.
The 'EastEnders' actress - who plays Whitney Dean in the BBC One soap - has revealed her family love indulging in festive fancy dress, and whilst her parents are opting for comical attire, she will be sporting a sexy Mariah Carey-style Santa dress.
She said: "My family are dressing up. My mum's an elf, my dad's a turkey and my nephew is a shepherd.
"I'm wearing a Mariah Carey 'All I Want for Christmas Is You' kind of outfit."
While Shona is sporting her skimpy outfit, her 'EastEnders' co-star Lorna Fitzgerald - who portrays Abi Branning in the show - looks set to be heading to a hotter climate.
She added: "I might go somewhere warm - because a warm Christmas is definitely better than a cold one!"
However, Harry Reid, who plays Lorna's on-screen boyfriend Ben Mitchell, isn't a big fan of spending Christmas in a warm country.
He added to Inside Soap magazine: "That's odd! Why would you want to go somewhere hot and have a BBQ on Christmas Day (25.12.15)? I'll be at home in the freezing cold wrapped up in my nice Christmas jumper."

Sarah-Jane Crawford is inspired by Rihanna's sense of style.
The former 'Xtra Factor' host, 34, is drawn to the Barbadian beauty's wardrobe and can't understand how she manages to pull off so many diverse looks.
She told BANG Showbiz: "I love Rihanna's style. She can be demure one minute but then ghetto fabulous the next. Her brand is so malleable that she can wear really demure things and the next day she can be like, 'Bitch better have my money'. She can be like smoking a joint on the top of a yacht and she can get away with it."
And the television presenter was particularly blown away when Rihanna strutted up on stage to collect her Style Icon trophy at the 2014 CFDA Fashion Awards in a glittery floor-length see-through gown.
She explained: "From a fashion point of view when she won that ultimate fashion award and wore that see-through-like sparkly dress. Her long time stylist's partner made it and no one can top that red carpet.
"Not only do you have to be an immaculate shape to wear that and I don't mean stick thin, she's slim but she has some sort of curve to her because she's Caribbean, not only do you have to be super in shape but you have to have the confidence. That could have gone so wrong but I don't think one person could turn around and say she looked bad. She's someone no one can keep up with."
Meanwhile, Sarah-Jane is gearing up to front the glitzy and glamorous 'Beyond the Red Carpet: British Fashion Awards' on November 24 at 8pm on E!

Joseph Valente has won the latest series of 'The Apprentice'.
The Peterborough plumbing boss won Lord Alan Sugar's £250,000 investment on Sunday's (20.12.15) final, beating Oxford university student Vana Koutsomitis.
While Vana proposed a dating app that allows users to play games against each other, Joseph impressed Lord Sugar with his plumbing business.
And speaking in his final interview with the businessman, he made sure to lay on the charm.
Joseph said: "I once read a book that changed my life and I'm sitting now in front of the author. I will make a million in five years. I hope you can see me as a person."
After he was announced as the winner, Joseph took to Twitter to write: "I won!!!! Greatest achievement of my life.. The Apprentice champion 2015.
"My life has been building up to this moment, Absolutely incredible. @Lord_Sugar is my inspiration and now he's my business partner #destiny (sic)."
Meanwhile, former contestant Richard Woods previously predicted Joseph's win.
Speaking to BANG Showbiz after he was axed from the show, he said: "I want Vana to win. I think she's a great person, but I've got a feeling, and if I was to put my logical investor head on - the simple idea of building and growing a plumbing business with a guy who has been doing it already for a few years, and had been as successful and driven as Joseph - all those things add up to a nice, easy-to-understand, simple investment for Lord Sugar, that will just tie into his portfolio."

Jay McGuiness is set to make £1 million from new job offers that have flooded in after being crowned this year's 'Strictly Come Dancing' champion.
The 25-year-old singer is on course to make a fortune and has been approached to star in the West End next year, after he won the coveted Glitterball trophy in Saturday's (19.12.15) final.
A source close to The Wanted singer - who was paired with professional dancer Aliona Vilani in the BBC One series - told the Sunday Mirror: "Jay isn't rushing any decisions but the future is certainly looking very good.
"He's most keen to take on a West End role. It's very early days but this is definitely something he'll look at pursuing because it combines his love of singing and dancing... A lot of people have suggested he launches a solo music career but he's not interested.
"He'd much rather do something with his former bandmates again, although that's looking unlikely for the foreseeable future.
"But he is open to doing some music-related TV presenting. He's been asked to do something for The Brits next year. When he makes a decision it's always very considered, but he has a lot of options right now."
Meanwhile, the star reportedly made £75,000 for appearing on 'Strictly', and previously revealed he is "seeking work" after the show.
He said: "I have a purpose and it's given me a sense of routine and ambition and I don't feel like doing nothing again.
"I'd had a year-and-a-half of just sort of having fun and I don't want to do that. After the tour I'm seeking work."

'I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here!' winner Vicky Pattison says she wouldn't have survived the show if she was 3st heavier.
The 'Geordie Shore' star lost weight through a strict diet and exercise routine and credits her new healthy figure for getting her through the gruelling Bush Tucker trials.
She said: "Everything changed when I lost weight. I changed and I got my confidence back. I don't think I would have done the jungle when I was bigger. I couldn't have done the challenges and fit through the tubes.
"You have to be physically fit and strong for those challenges. It is demanding. If you are bigger you can't do it."
And the 28-year-old reality TV star - who was 12st at her heaviest - says her career rocketed when she shed the pounds.
She continued: "My career really did change an awful lot when I lost weight. I just didn't get the opportunities I got when I was bigger. It has taken a long time for people to want me."
Meanwhile, despite going from a size 16 to a size eight, the brunette beauty still doesn't feel "sexy."
She told The Sun on Sunday: "Humour can be sexy and that's what I'm sticking to. I don't see myself as sexy at all. I'm just a big goofball. People have seen that side of me. I just think I'm a girl's girl."

Abbey Clancy wants an all-star series of 'Strictly Come Dancing'.
The 29-year-old model - who won the show in 2013 - is delighted to return to the dancefloor for this year's one-off Christmas special alongside some other past contestants, but she'd love to do more.
She admitted: "I just want 'Strictly' to do an all-star series so I can do it all over again."
Abbey was originally partnered with Aljaz Skorjanec but she'll dance with Brendan Cole on the Christmas special and found the veteran pro great to work with.
She said: "Brendan is fantastic and completely different from Aljaz. I am extra-nervous and he's been really good helping me. We've just done our run through and I was shaking."
And the mother-of-two - who has daughters Sophia, four, and Liberty, six months, with husband Peter Crouch - still can't believe she scooped the glitterball trophy.
She told HELLO! magazine: "Last year I couldn't even watch the show because it felt too raw.
"I didn't think I would win - I never win anything. I just took each dance as it came and didn't think too far in advance."

Jay McGuiness has been crowned this year's 'Strictly Come Dancing' champion.
The 25-year-old singer and his professional dance partner Aliona Vilani couldn't believe it when they were handed the coveted Glitterball trophy ahead of runner ups Kellie Bright and Georgia May Foote.
Asked how he felt after their win, he said: "I feel spaced out. You [Aliona] deserve it so much. It's been one of the most special things I've ever done and with the most special person. And anyone that watched and helped us to get here and enjoyed what we were doing, I'm really happy you liked it because it was the best thing ever."
Meanwhile, former 'Coronation Street' beauty Georgia didn't seem disappointed by the news, insisting she just wanted to get to the final.
She shared: "To be honest, I'm so happy. All I wanted to do was get to the final. I've done it and the whole experience - I couldn't be happier."
Whilst fellow runner-up and 'EastEnders' star Kellie added: "I've had the best time; I really have. I'm glad I got to see it through to the end. I'm glad I got to do as many dances as possible; that was really important. We set out to entertain people."
Earlier in the evening, the class of 2015 took to the stage for a high-energy group performance, performing together for the final time in a show-stopping spectacular.
