Estelle has admitted that she is staying away from serious relationships for the time being.

The singer confessed that while she is "dating heavily", her schedule makes it difficult for her to get to know someone.

"A serious relationship is off the cards for the time being. I need to make sure I am doing 100% with my career. The man for me has to have his own life or be as busy as me," she told The Mirror.

However, the Shine star revealed that she does have her eye on a man, saying: "It’s fun. He lives in New York, but it’s not that serious. I will never say I am committed to somebody unless I’m serious about that person."

Hammersmith-born Estelle added that 2008 proved to be an "amazing year" for her. "Day after day, week after week, things have got crazier and crazier. Every time I think I have topped myself, something else happens and I go 'Wow'," she said.
