“It's not up to us how people eat.”

“I actually think I'm lucky. Because blokes who lose their hair at a later age, in their thirties and forties, get hung up about it. Because they had hair and then lose it. But I've never had that problem.”

“I'm a huge fan of curries, chillies and stews and it is still possible to lose weight and eat hearty meals.”

“I've always been a worrier.”

“As soon as my clothes come back from the laundry I hang them up on the left-hand side of the wardrobe and take clothes to wear from the right, so they're constantly rotating.”

“I want to be on 'Love Island' because I want to show how toned I've gotten and I also want to increase my Instagram following and get a clothing deal with Uniqlo.”

“I try to be as fit as possible, so I do a lot of exercise every day. Cardio, weights, uphill walking.”

“Having my baby boy made me want to be fit and strong.”

“In my childhood home, the chip pan was always on the go.”

“I once left my wife and child in a hotel in Mexico to fly to Guatemala in this tiny plane for two days to see the rainforests. Guatemala had just finished a civil war and my hotel door had five or six bolts on it; I was locking myself into a safe vault.”

“I always eat breakfast as I've just come out of gym and I'm ravenous for protein.”

“I haven't been invited to anyone's for dinner since the show began. I like eating with friends in restaurants instead. You all choose what to eat, have a starter, main and dessert, and then you go home.”

“Our nation was built on chips and Spam fritters.”

“We don't spend loads of money. I want to make sure that when I'm gone, my wife is looked after and financially safe.”

“Spending time in Soweto, and looking at the issues, and experiencing the poverty first-hand, had an enormous impact. I was brought up in a council house in South East London - I didn't have a privileged or wealthy upbringing - but looking at the scale of the problems there just left me dumbfounded.”

“Well, I don't know about my mum; I think she is almost Buddhist in her approach to life in that she's not going to work very hard at any particular thing and she's not going to let any particular thing trouble her. I'm very different. I aspire to things and I worry about things.”

“I think that Hardeep Singh Kohli is the winner of 'MasterChef' that never was.”

“I wish 'I, Claudius' had never ended back in 1976. That was the best TV show the world has ever seen - apart from 'MasterChef' of course.”

“I used to go to the pub every day and drink five pints of beer and then think, 'What is it that's making me put on weight?'”

“When you go out for a good meal, chances are that there will be a deep fat fryer in the kitchen. Every Michelin star restaurant will have one.”
