Mark said: ‘Yeah I didn’t know that there was a word for it. We were all arguing backstage in the dressing room with a couple of your producers. And yes I feel like I am identifying as sapiosexual.’
Co-host Ben Shepard said: ‘So you are coming out as sapiosexual. Out and proud on Good Morning Britain.’
Mark’s latest album Late Night Feelings is a record about heartbreak with the songwriter collaborating with people including Miley Cyrus and Camila Cabello.

He said: ‘I was all over the place emotionally and that’s where I can just bury myself in work. Every now and again I’d have moments of clarity. I’d read a self-help book or go to therapy, but then literally on January 1 in 2018 it was like I just woke up.
‘I started to think about the way all my relationships would break down and the one common denominator is me.
‘I don’t lay blame on my ex-wife. Things are good between us. The problem has always been me. I’ve always been unable to express emotions until it’s too late.’
