Sam Smith has joked that he only got a boyfriend so that he would have someone to sing the song Fergalicious with.

The ā€˜Stay With Meā€™ singer came out in May last year, when he revealed that his album In the Lonely Hour was about a man he fell in love with.

LastĀ week, the singer uploaded his first photos with his new boyfriend Jonathan Zeizel, taken during a trip to Sydney over New Year.

He reposted a joke on Instagram today that said: “The only reason I want a boyfriend is so that when I’m singing Fergalicious and its at the part where she says ‘I be up in the gym just working on my fitness he’s my witness’ I can point to him and he’ll do the little ‘wooOOH’ part because right now I have to do both parts myself and it’s stressful because right after the wooOOH part I have to get right back into rapping and the transition is harder than you think so yeah I need a bf because of that.”

The singer added: “AMEN!”

The pair met when Jonathan danced for the singer’s music video, Like I Can.

Smith said last month: “It’s very early days. I’m talking very, very, very early days. But he’s really sweet.”
