Rascal : I never think about 1bn audience!!

Rapper Dizzee Rascal expressed that he never thinks how many people were watching him at the Olympics opening ceremony.

He told TV show BBC Breakfast: ''I wasn't thinking about the billion people. To me, I wasn't even thinking about the people around me in the stadium too much.

''I kind of knew I was performing to the dancers, because they had so much energy, and so much positivity, so I was kind of performing to them. And that just kind of made it easier.''

When asked if he thought the Olympics is a positive thing for the whole community, he replied: ''I don't know about the whole community, because obviously, over there, in the estate where I'm from, some people don't feel a big part of it.

''But it is a time when the world's coming together, it's a good time for some realisation. I didn't want it to be about, 'yeah, winning, winning, winning.' I want it to be positive but I want people to know about what's going on in the world.''
