1) I spent a night in hospital after the set of the Tweenies stage show fell on me.

2) I worked for four days as a door to door frozen food salesman before leaving in disgust. Unfortunately I left my driving licence behind and didn't realise for another two years when I was pulled over by the police.

3) I spent six months at Exeter University without attending a single lecture.

4) Although my hair everywhere else is dark brown, it's ginger in one place (and it's my beard, before you think I'm being rude!)

5) I wear a ring that my dad gave me four days before he died.

6) I was once engaged without knowing about it.

7) A couple of years ago I changed from wearing pants to wearing boxer shorts - more expensive, but far more comfy!

8) My godfather was the first black man to direct a West End play.

9) I broke two ribs and two fingers in a quarterstave fight.

10) One of my middle names is Columba.
