The 20-year-old rapper says his tough upbringing in London left him terrified of the animals after a number of frightning incidents when he was a youngster.

He said: "I hate dogs, proper. My estate was bad and I`ve been chased by Rottweilers, pit bulls? They used to lock us in cages with them and you had to fight to get out. But it`s any dogs?. even a Chihuahua."

While he has a fear of dogs, Chipmunk also revealed he has an unusual passion - ironing.

The `In The Air` star admits he takes a long time to get ready to go out because he insists his clothes are nicely pressed.

He explained to more magazine: "I love ironing. I always make sure I have time to iron my clothes with Comfort Easy Iron. There`s nothing like it when you press that steam button. I love it."
