“Whenever I leave 'Strictly' I want to be able to touch my toes.”

“I think it doesn't really matter what you do for a career, that breakfast routine - get the kids ready, off to school and out the house - if you can have something in the fridge that you know and trust, and that you know your kids enjoy it then it makes your life so much easier.”

“All the stuff we have to edit out of our music, we put in our kids book.”

“Setting up our own label allows us to rip up the rulebook and find new ways of reaching an audience.”

“I was nearly in Busted.”

“I'm the least rock'n'roll person ever.”

“Dancing every day certainly gets you into shape.”

“I've never had a moment when I thought: "Tom, you've made it!", and I don't think I want to, because that feels like you've reached the end; that you've crossed the finish line. But to me there is no end. An achievement is not a finish line; it's a checkpoint on a far greater journey. It's a moment to pause, to take a breath and look back and enjoy what you've experienced and be grateful for it, but then to turn around and look towards the next checkpoint, the next achievement.”

“I had a really happy childhood.”

“I'm the least sociable person ever.”

“There is no shame in therapy, no shame in seeking help.”

“We wanted to write a book that we would have read as kids, and would love to read to our children.”

“After we covered Queen's 'Don't Stop Me Now,' Brian May and Roger Taylor sent us a bottle of champagne and asked us if we'd sing it on stage during the 'We Will Rock You' musical on what would have been Freddie Mercury's 60th birthday.”

“I Google McFly a lot, once a day, to see what people are writing.”

“It's only after the first six months that it really becomes fun for dads.”

“My dad worked for Kodak and was made redundant when I was about 14. Despite this, my parents did everything they could to help me and my sister do what we wanted to do.”

“Without McFly, who are we? Trying to find out and pretend you're happy with that new version of you was really difficult.”

“I am the last person on the dance floor at a wedding, I am the person that awkwardly hangs around the edge and says no unless they've had a few glasses of wine.”

“It's by far the most challenging responsibility I will ever experience but it's such a huge privilege being able to be a father.”

“My all-time favourite children's book is 'Green Eggs and Ham' by Dr Seuss. Even as an adult I still appreciate it - what a masterclass in writing.”
