Andrew ‘Dru’ Fisher was a finalist in the 2006 series of the X Factor, singing with the boy band 4Sure. He’s now a children’s home manager and the reigning British classic bodybuilding champion.

FLEX: Which are more intimidating: bodybuilding judges or Simon Cowell?

Dru Fisher: On The X Factor, I was in a group, so I wasn’t on my own, although 10 million people were watching at home. Simon is a surprisingly nice person. On stage as a bodybuilder, the person next to you wants you to lose and the judges want to see your best, so you have no opportunity to relax. I would say bodybuilding judges, but both are very hard.

Why did you go from singing to bodybuilding?
