Clever move. He'll have women and men alike queuing around the block to recline in his company so he will.

The former Take That star is said to be "fascinated by the mind" and as a result is keen to find out even more about the behaviour and mental processes after quitting the band - made up of Gary Barlow, Howard Donald and Mark Owen - in September.

A source told The Sun: "Jason was fascinated by the mind. He is a great listener and is known among pals as a bit of a sensitive soul who likes to think about the big picture."

It won't be the first time the 44-year-old singer has dabbled in psychology education as in 2001 he did a two-year access course in the subject at South Trafford College in his native Greater Manchester.

He previously said: "When I finally decide to get out, my main focus will be developing my interest in psychology."

Jason - who was previously romantically linked to comedienne Catherine Tate (true story), and has since been pictured with this lady - could look to delve into further education in other aspects as his two-year access course included biology, history and A-level English.

The star is also said to be keen to travel the world a bit more after hanging his microphone up.

A source recently said: "Jason hated being in it first time around. He genuinely likes going off travelling the world with a backpack, being anonymous and fancies himself as a thinker. He feels he's got his life back. He can now kick on and do what he wants to do."
