“There's nothing that winds me up more on Twitter than people who are stupid, and who say the most ridiculous things.”
“My technicolour dreamcoat is the only thing I've stolen. It would be a terrible shame if it went up in smoke after the trouble I went to get it. I was wearing it during the most terrifying moment of my life - the opening night of 'Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat' was fear beyond compare.”
“I am very conscious of the fact I am in people's living rooms every day, and they feel like they know me.”
“Our back garden is allegedly haunted by a ghost called the Grey Lady. When one of my daughters was three, she said she'd been speaking to a lady in the garden and we went running around trying to find this woman. There was no one there.”
“As long as those adjectives used to describe me - charming, affable, punctual - don't mean that I'm dull, then that's fine. And I am polite - I was brought up to be that way.”
“If I was a pig to work with I would never get asked back.”
“I play along with 'Pointless' and I love 'The Chase.' I'm not bad either - geography, biology and history are my strong points.”
“In general I'd say that I need to be with the right people in the right place - although one of the best holidays I ever had was alone.”
“In the old days, people would pick up the phone and complain or they'd write a letter. But now they go to Ofcom and they must be sick to death of all of this. Any minor outrage that anyone's got, they go to Ofcom. They must be inundated with minor complaints.”
“I loved the Four Seasons in Cairo.”
“I'd like to see Alaska or cross the Atlantic. My father-in-law spent some years crewing luxury yachts from port to port for their owners. He says the starlit skies over the Atlantic are extraordinary because there is no light pollution. I like the thought of seeing those stars, G&T in hand.”
“I love this time of year. I'm the world's biggest Christmas fan!”
“It's a ridiculously expensive time of year and if you buy something that you've guessed at and it's not right, what a waste of money. Far better to ask. And if you do it with three or four weeks to go, by the time it comes to Christmas you've forgotten about it - so it's a lovely surprise.”
“I love the fact we do break taboos.”
“My wife Steph never tells me to take on less work - she's just glad to have me out of the house!”
“I hate birthdays.”
“If you follow someone on Twitter, you're interested in what they have to say. When you get bored you follow someone else.”
“I attempted to beat a Michelin-starred master chopper at prepping vegetables and making stuffing. He was doing it by hand, I was using a blender. It was bloody close too, he just beat me.”
“We live in a world that has very sharp edges. It can be very bitter and if you come across a little bit of random kindness - someone who is nice to someone - then that is always lovely.”
“I don't do anything by halves and wine is an expensive passion.”
