"It is currently 1 am in Istanbul, we have very little money, there is nothing around the airport and we have another problem. I am in the bin. (JJ said, "You were throwing up in the toilet.") Yeah. So for people who don't know, I have an autoimmune condition called Crohn's, which is effectively where your immune system attacks the cells in your gut and kills them and causes all sorts of issues, illness."

"Pretty much on the flight, I started feeling terrible, stomach pain, not great at all. It can get pretty bad. Been in and out of the hospital for a while. Trying different treatments and stuff but it's not great. SO now, all of you know. It has never happened during a Sidemen shoot."
