It's funny to read of a single person being referred to in the plural; an individual of unknown, or ambiguous, gender would be themself. I guess that's a problem with pronoun posturing though, it's essentially a bastardisation of language by those of limited mental acuity—whether in this case it's that of the reporter or his subject is neither here nor there.

Having said that, he is quite hefty. So perhaps it's a reference to the old postcard joke about a fat man standing on a speak-your-weight machine: One at a time please! (LOL)

But at what point did Sam Smith metamorphose, from a sharp-suited guy who'd appear on the cover of GQ magazine, into Mr Stay-Puft wearing a spangled onesie? Or Mx Stay-Puft, possibly. (shrug)
