When I left Radio 1: full snotty sobbing on air.
Yesterday, because grief creeps up on you.
The FA Cup final, watching Crystal Palace win.
Probably watching some poor abandoned cat or dog being nursed back to life by a stranger on YouTube.
Cruelty. I don’t see the point.
President Zelenskyy.
Every time one of my kids was born and I knew that they were healthy.
Losing one of my children, as there is no greater loss.
My late wife – she died of cancer. We tried everything we could do to save her. I wish that I could have done more and that I could have been with her at the moment she passed away. I couldn’t be in that room, because I knew it would be so devastating that I wouldn’t be able to take care of the kids after.
I am always disappointed in myself. I always feel that I haven’t achieved enough, or been as good a parent as I could be.
