The music star, whose real name is Dominic Harrison, recently headlined the second incarnation of his Bludfest festival in Milton Keynes and is riding high on the back of his third consecutive number one album Idols.

But in an interview, he says he’d love to perform at the home of Doncaster Rovers – as a tribute to his late grandad Rick Harrison, who formerly ran Doncaster’s Music Ground guitar shop.

He said: “I would love to one day perform at a stadium.

“I lost my grandad two years ago and he’d take me to the stadium in Doncaster as a kid to watch the football.

“My biggest dream is to perform at the stadium in Donny. Invite Jeremy Clarkson and Louis Tomlinson. Get three Donny lads together and light up the stadium.”
