SINGER Tom Fletcher has revealed he’s been “paralysed with fear” of ALIENS ever since he was a child.
The McFly star – who is competing in this year’s Strictly Come Dancing – told how he was left terrified by his dad’s bedtime story.
To this day he’s still haunted his worst fear – and can’t sleep unless the TV’s on.
Tom, 36, told the Daily Star: “One of the first things I remember is the aliens that have haunted me all my life.
“It was my dad who first introduced us. He used to tell me stories about them.”
He added: “Even fully grown and touring the world, I’d always go back to my hotel room and lie there terrified of the alien at the window.
“Even after playing in front of hundreds of thousands of fans, I’d sleep with the TV on, the sound down and the bathroom door open.”
Tom says his dad told one terrifying story that’s stuck with him forever.
He claimed travellers camping in a log cabin overnight realised an alien had been watching them for hours once its face had disappeared from the moonlit window.
The celebrity dancer still worries now that he’s being watched by extraterrestrials.
Tom made a sensational return to the show on Saturday night after a week off following a positive Covid test.
He discovered his shock result hours after the first live show while on tour with McFly.
