“I'm slightly obsessed with the BBQ - I'll be cooking breakfast on it next.”
“I love Westlife. I turn up the stereo and listen to the a capella version of 'Flying Without Wings'. Any man who says he doesnt do the same is lying.”
“I learned a lot while labouring and gardening. Whenever I feel tired and want to go home while doing TV work, I just think how tough groundworking is.”
“I did a corporate gig where I presented on stage for an hour and was paid 12,000. I felt so guilty. It is still hard for me to accept I can earn that sort of money for an hour of my time.”
“You should never be scared of failing.”
“Old people can make me cry. I worry about getting old, and old people inspire me to live life to the full.”
“If Im on TV, I make a real effort to get ready. When I go out, I want to relax a bit more. Its a quick shower, a bit of moisturiser and Im done in 15 minutes.”
“I dont ever expect anything in this industry but 'The One' show has had such a presence in lockdown and I think to have a programme in the morning too, reflecting on the mood of the nation is great.”
“When I was at university, I earned money by laying pipes. It was so hard.”
“I will never be the kind of person who Instagrams pictures of my food, though. I hate that!”
“I dont have any tattoos, but I wish I did. I have never had the guts. I would like a full sleeve, but trends change so you never know what is going to stay cool.”
“My middle name is Cliff, so Ive been nicknamed Cliffy in the past.”
“Any time there was a break from university I'd be doing some kind of outdoor job.”
“But I am not a serial dater or anything like that. Maybe when lockdown is over, I can do speed dating for weeks on end!”
“I did several corporate gigs as a presenter, worked on a few branded campaigns and also made money from my rugby events company and my business, Leaf Hospitality.”
“I take most time over my shoes, because Im not very good at putting things together.”
