Niall Horan has opened up about living with obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD).
The former One Direction star, who has spoken out about his OCD in the past, has revealed how it affects his life on a daily basis.
Speaking to Germany’s Zeit Leo magazine, he said: “I have a mild obsessive-compulsive disorder, that’s what doctors call it.”
“I feel like I have to do things in a certain way. For example, if I have a burger with chips on my plate, I always have to eat the chips first and only pick up the burger at the very end.”
“There are other tics in my life. Even when I go on stage, I only have one fixed sequence. I always have to sing in the same order, move and so on.”
However, Niall certainly isn’t alone as he admitted that he’s met a lot of fellow musicians who feel the same way.
He explained, “I noticed: I may not be like most normal people – but most musicians are like me! Some have much stronger tics than I do.
“A friend has to, for example, always exactly do things three times when he washes his hand: soap three times, rinse three times, dry off three times.”
