Thousands of Women Want to Sleep with Example
Example has revealed that since becoming famous he has noticed the amount of women that want to sleep with him sky-rocket.
'Speaking in this month's FHM Magazine, which is out now, he explained: "At the start there might be a couple of fans who'd heard an odd song from my first album who wanted to sleep with me; now there's thousands, and obviously they're better quality!"
Being such a hit with the ladies has made the rapper realise that he would sometimes prefer a romantic evening and a simple cuddle.
"I've had some fun, and when it starts it's pretty exciting because you're like 'Wow, it's all on a plate'. But then I think it becomes a bit soulless after a while, and I get quite romantic, I just long for a cuddle rather than meaningless sex," he explained.
Despite the volume of attention he receives, the London artist admitted that he still gets called names on Twitter, but he doesn't let it bother him.
Example, real name Elliot Gleave, also made the effort to point out that his real life persona is not too dissimilar to the man he becomes on stage.
"Elliot and Example aren't that different. Although, me, Elliot, doesn't like attention on the street. But when I'm on stage I lap it up – I'm so big headed I want everyone looking at me," he said.'

Example Rules Out Colabs on Next Album
Example has spoken to BBC News about not wanting to collaborate with anyone on his new album. This is an extract from the BBC Newsbeat website.
'The singer has already begun working on the follow-up to his current record, Playing In The Shadows.
The 29-year-old said: "I've started writing my fourth album, and the only collaborations will be with producers.
"I just don't know if it makes sense for me to do that many [collaborations], I just want to exist on my own if I can."
Example, whose real name is Elliot Gleave, also revealed who he would like to produce the forthcoming album.
"There'll hopefully be a lot of people I've worked with before like Nero, Chase & Status and Skream. I also want to do something with Rob Swire from Pendulum.
"I'll probably go to America and maybe try and do something with Swedish House Mafia and Skrillex."
Speaking to Newsbeat at Mencap Music's Little Noise sessions, Gleave said he has turned down several opportunities to work with other artists over the last year.
"I get asked to do maybe five or six features a week, ranging from boy bands and girl bands to new indie bands, to remixes of rock bands.
"[But] I need to have a break because I've been on daytime radio every day for the last 18 months and I don't want to overkill it.
"In terms of other artists I'm probably not going to be doing many collaborations. I want to limit it to stuff that I'm a huge fan of."
The rapper is known for his controversial opinions, which he often posts on Twitter.
He recently upset fans of The Saturdays after describing the girl-group as "miming dancers".
When asked about his comments on the site, Example said: "If I slate the Saturdays it's not because I hate them personally.
"I just think the record label should be doing a better job of marketing them or writing them songs.
"It's not like I hate girl bands or boy bands, I just don't like bad pop. I think there's a good way and a bad way to do pop.
"On the flip side, I really like people like JLS. I think they have good songs and a good image and they're put together well and they put on a good show."

Example Writing a Song For Enrique Iglesias
Example has said in an interview with The Daily Star that Enrique has asked him to write a song for him. Here is the full story...
"Example has revealed he could be set for an unlikely collaboration - with Latino heartthrob Enrique Iglesias.
The rapper and singer told the Daily Star his in-demand songwriting skills had led to requests from some of pop's biggest names.
"I've been approached by Enrique Iglesias to do something. It may not seem like an obvious match-up but I feel I can write for anyone. Everyone from Kylie Minogue to cool dubstep artists have asked me to do stuff. It's great," he said.
Example, who has also penned a track for boyband The Wanted, hit the headlines earlier this year after clashing with former X Factor winner Alexandra Burke on Twitter and claiming she was "actually 41".
But the Last Ones Standing star insisted: "I was just being honest. Now people think if it's a pop star I automatically hate them.
"But I study pop music, it's my job. I love Gaga, JLS and loads of pop music."
Is this something you'd be looking forward to?
