The Thornton Heath born artist continued: “Preferably a South Londoner, we can bun a zoot as well lol.”

Stormzy – who won Best Grime Act at the 2014 MOBO Awards – recently threw himself into the race for Christmas number one after launching a campaign to keep X Factor's Louisa Johnson from the top spot.
He changed his Twitter name to #ShutUpForXmasNo1 and the hastag was soon trending on social media.
In an attempt to rally support from fans he wrote: "Nah f**k this #ShutUpForXMasNo1 LET'S DO THIS BUN X FACTOR!!! https://itun.es/gb/_Fe59 RT!!!!"
The track - which has climbed to number seven in the charts - is facing competition from Justin Bieber's Sorry and the NHS Choir's A Bridge Over You - a mash up of Coldplay’s Fix You and Simon & Garfunkel’s Bridge Over Troubled Water.
