Tom Grennan believes getting sober has "changed" his life .

The 31-year-old singer is preparing to celebrate one year since giving up alcohol and he's insisted it's made a massive impact because he can still have a good time without feeling terrible afterwards.

He told The Sun newspaper's Bizarre column: "I am coming up to a year sober now and it’s changed my life. I had to really do it properly this time. Trust me, I can still have the craic, I can still be the life and soul of the party.

"I will be in that VIP bar, I just won’t be leaving with a sore head."

During the interview, Tom also confessed he took a step back from the gym after working out hard to pose for the cover of Men's Health magazine in the autumn - and he went into "hibernation mode".

He explained: "I went hard for my Men’s Health cover last autumn, but after that, I definitely dropped off from the gym for a while, as I was in hibernation mode. I grew a beard and I ate a lot of s*** food."

Tom went on to reveal he felt "a little bit lost" when it came to his music and he needed a decent break before getting back on stage for a series of shows this year.

He told the publication: "I think I found myself a little bit lost with music, to be honest with you. I really had to go back to the drawing board and sit down with myself and say: 'What do I really love and what do I really love doing?’

"That is playing music, and as soon as I started playing, that was when I was having fun again."

Tom also marked another major life milestone last year when he welcomed a baby girl with his wife Danniella - who he married in May 2024 - and he's been struggling with being away from his daughter for long periods of time while he's on the road but he tries to make sure they have regular video calls.

He said: "As a dad, it’s been tough being away from home. It’s something that I have had to deal with and, God bless FaceTime, I suppose.

"She gives me that little smile in the morning and it gives me that lift."
