Simon Webbe's soft side

Simon Webbe says he is a romantic at heart.

The former Blue singer - who attended the UK premiere of Will Smith's new movie 'Seven Pounds' - has revealed he likes to watch a good tear-jerker and isn't afraid to show his true emotions.

He told BANG Showbiz: "I'm a man... but it's no secret that I am in touch with my feminine side."

Simon is currently dating Layla Manoochehri - who appeared in UK TV talent show 'The X Factor' as part of act Girlband.

Although it was recently reported the handsome singer had described Layla as the love of his life, Simon insists it is too soon in their relationship to consider settling down just yet.

The 29-year-old star - who has an 11-year-old daughter, Alanah, with his ex-girlfriend Nicola Jones - said: "If anyone actually read the interview it says I would like to think that she's the one."
