He explained that he plans to keep partying as much now as he did before his relationship began.
"There's no way I'm going to become boring, don't worry about that," he told the Daily Star.
"I'll still be out just as much as before. After all I'm only 24! Plus Sarah works long hours so it works for her too.
He added: "We are serious, though. It's not just dating."
