McFly star Tom Fletcher confessed he hasn't 'really figured out' who he is as he takes a step back from the limelight.
The musician made a decision to 'slow down' on social media around a year ago and has been putting all his focus on his work projects and his family.
He opened up about the 'stress' of social media as well as discovering the things he wants 'to do' in a new chat.
"About a year or so ago I just decided to slow down a bit on social media," he explained.
"I realised I was doing stuff that I didn’t need to do and it takes up so much time and stress... I just don’t have the time or energy to do it now."
Speaking on The Netmums Podcast, he admitted that the 'beauty' of his career means he 'doesn't really know' what he is.
"I love being an author, I love being a musician and obviously I love being a dad," he said.
"There are so many other things I want to do. I feel like I’ve not really figured out who I am or what I want to do with my life? I don’t have a clue what I am or who I am?"
Tom and his wife Giovanna Fletcher share three children, including Buzz Michelangelo, Buddy Bob and Max Mario.
The singer is also an acclaimed kids’ author having co-penned The Dinosaur That Pooped series with his McFly bandmate Dougie Poynter.
He released his first solo work titled The Christmasaurus in 2016, with several others in that vein following in the following years.
Back in May, Tom and Giovanna celebrated their 10th wedding anniversary and the two took to social media to praise one another.
