What has been discussed in The Dan Wootton Interview podcast?
In her episode, Camila Cabello dispelled the rumour her best pal Taylor Swift had been the one behind her decision to quit girl group Fifth Harmony.
She said: “It annoyed me that people said she was encouraging me because I know that she probably got a lot of flak for that, or a lot of negative criticism for that.
“Absolutely nobody could ever persuade me to do something.
“If I don’t want to do something the whole world could be telling me and I won’t do it and if I do then the whole world could be telling me to not do it and I’ll do it. I’ve always been that way."
One Direction star Liam Payne opened up about his relationship with singer Cheryl in his episode in May 2017.
Admitting their relationship hasn't always been smooth sailing, he said: "There's one song that is basically a phone call that happened between me and her when she was about to let it go.
"This is a long time ago. And it's basically me trying to cling on and say: 'No, no, no it's all going to work out — don't worry about it, give it time.'"
And his bandmate Niall Horan was the first ever guest, giving his most in-depth solo interview ever.
For the first time, Niall revealed the reasons behind his decision to walk away from his X Factor mentor and former record label boss Simon Cowell.
He told Dan: “We were very close to Simon for years and had a lot of success together.
“I just felt like I wanted, and this is the God’s honest, I felt like I needed a fresh start. I just wanted to broaden my horizons and try something new."
In other episodes, Celine Dion spoke about losing her husband, Sam Smith discussed almost quitting the industry, and Meghan Trainor revealed the crippling depression she had suffered following a second operation on her voice.
