"It's amazing! It's around the corner from my house, which is perfect, and it's just such an amazing space, so much history there," Sam explained.

Going on to say, "The Beatles' history there is the best, I love The Beatles."

The conversation soon turned to who Sam would like to collab with given the choice and their reply was, "The answer to this question is always Beyoncé! That's my dream!" they continued saying, "It's always been my dream, I just want to be Beyoncé."

What a collab that would be!
