Dappy has compared himself to Bear Grylls.
The rapper claimed that he would be able to survive any situation in the wild just like the television explorer and described himself as a "water baby".
The N-Dubz star told Capital FM: "I'm the new Bear Grylls. My pops was born in Egypt and he's got this thing about man against nature – spears, wild boar, fishing.
"He came over to this country and he tried to get a pigeon the first day as a pet. Since that day, he told me, 'I'm going to take you fishing when you're older'.
"He took me fishing and I've got that vibe. I've got that whole thing, I've got that in me, man. Put me anywhere and I'll get out alive. I love fishing; I'm a water baby. I love paintballing and outdoor activities."
He added: "Fishing is something that will always stay with me, I love it to death. Catching a big massive carp, who would have thought that's exciting?"
Dappy's new single 'Rockstar' - which features Queen guitarist Brian May - is available to download now.
