James Blunt accepts certain people don't like him and understands why someone might want to beat him up.

He told GQ magazine: "I probably deserve a bit of a kicking. And having been to boarding school I've learnt to enjoy a good beating."
Blunt says he tries to ignore all the negative comments made about him.
The star - who was once voted more irritating than traffic wardens in a newspaper poll - said: "I don't take the comments seriously. I've got the best job in the world. I've spent the past two-and-a-half years touring with a band and it's been brilliant. Touring is the best invention of all time, so if I have to suffer a little bit of payback for having all this fun, then so be it."
