WATCH: Tom Walker reveals the celeb he's ALWAYS getting mistaken for
Poor ole Tom!
Hits Radio fave Tom Walker joined our Hits Radio Breakfast team for a chat this week to discuss all things Glastonbury after his epic performance last month. Revealing that he attended the festival with 10 of his friends, the 'Just You And I' hitmaker was over the moon when Drum and Bass DJ Andy C dropped a remix of one of his songs.
He said, "I was many beers deep! Me and my mates went nuts, there was an actual circle pit going down at the front that we'd started." When Fleur East asked about the etiquette when you hear your own song being played, Tom admitted, "I think normally it would be to act cool and play it down, but I didn't do that - I just fully went in!"
After being quizzed by Fleur over his glorious beard, Tom confirmed that there's "no real secret," and that he's "just lucky". But one thing that did surprise us is that - despite being a huge name himself - he's ALWAYS getting mixed up by fans for another bearded singer... Rag'n'Bone Man!
"Oh my gosh, it's so funny!" he exclaimed. "They recognise my face because they know they've seen it somewhere, and they're like, '...Are you Rag'n'Bone Man?' and I've just started saying yes and just taking the pictures with people. They'll be like, 'I love your song 'Human'', and I'm just like... 'Thanks'." 🙈

And, of course, there's no way anyone can have any discussions at the moment without at least ONCE referencing Love Island. Funnily enough, fans have been getting Tom confused with someone else since the show's been on - and that's former Islander Tom Walker! We can see where the confusion has come from...
After Greg joking that he'd been kicked out of the villa after THAT awkward moment with Maura Higgins, he revealed that he's a fan of the show as they quite often use his songs for the soundtrack! "Love Island are legends," he proclaimed.
"They've played my entire discography so far. It's dedication. I've watched a couple of episodes but I kind of lost touch with it because I've been here there and everywhere."
