6 things we learned today about Years & Years

If you thought you knew everything there was to know about , think again.

They've been killing it for two and a half years now and we're still discovering more earth-shattering facts about London's hottest electropop trio.

One thing we've learned today: Their new single Meteorite is an absolute TUNE. Have a listen.

But more importantly, we have also gained some very important information about their toilet habits, the musicians they obsess over and their finger food preferences.

Here's what we've learned.

They wee in the bushes

Like all of us on a long journey, sometimes they just can't hold it in until the next service station.

"We were on the way back from one festival," said Olly, as he discussed coming back to real life after two and a half years on the road touring.

"I think it was Glastonbury and we all got out and peed at the side of the road.

"We were squatting in a ditch after we'd played."

Years & Years run down of the best smelling celebs

Probably the weirdest thing you have heard today.

Cheryl Cole is a big fan

Olly revealed he bumped into the Geordie pop legend at the buffet at The BRIT Awards. Near the carbs.

"She came up to me at The BRITs, tapped me on the shoulder when I was really hungry and was stuffing some bread in my mouth," Olly told Nick.

"I couldn't believe I had a bread roll in my mouth and I was meeting . It was amazing. She smelled really good. Very floral."

Olly may or may not have a crush on Matty Healy

Lets be honest - who doesn't? Olly is drawn to his natural allure.

"Do you know who smells nice, Matty Healy," Olly admitted. "Maybe i'm just responding to his pheromones."

For that matter, it looks like Emre may have a soft spot for Matty too.

"He looks like he might not, but he smells great," he added.

Hashtags mean a lot

The band have come to the end of touring their debut album Communion and fans marked it on Twitter. It meant a lot to Olly.

"The fans came up with the hashtag, #CommunionMemories," he said.

"I always see things trending, for or . I felt really proud for Years & Years that we had our own hashtag trending on Twitter."

Emre shouldn't be allowed around elder celebrities

Years & Years have packed Wembley Stadium with screaming fans, but even they don't quite know how to behave when they bump into their idols.

"I accosted , drunk at the Q Awards," Emre admitted.

"I was drunk, and I was like "My mum loves you, I love you too.

"First of all he looked like he was going to lamp me but then he just said "Thanks lad"."

Sadly, he did not confirm how Tom Jones smells.

There are some very loose plans for a second album

#CommunionMemories may be a thing we have gotten teary-eyed about, but plans are already in place for a follow up.

"Everyone would forget about us if we took a year off," said Emre. "We'll start writing sometime this year and then start recording early next year. It's very vague."

"We'd never return if we took a year off," Olly added.

"We'll have a little break though."

Meteorite is out now.
