“You’re not in Busted any more.” I successfully auditioned to be in Busted and then a couple of days later I got a phone call to say that I was no longer needed as they were going to keep it as the three of them. But it ended up being OK.

It happened when I was younger, somewhere outside London. We were on bikes, and this older girl pulled up and said something racist that I won’t repeat. I will never forget that, because it was the first time, and I was like, “Oh, I am feeling different from everyone around me right now”.

My wife when I tried out some new material on her, said: “I’m sure the people who like you would like that.”

Loved you in Dallas.

Eager to learn.

Impatience. I’m not very good at waiting around or dealing with things that aren’t moving at a pace that I want them to.

On radio, I once said “anal” instead of “angel”.

Superiority. I shrink when I’m around people who act superior, whether it’s due to authority or intellect. I almost become mute.

Picking myself back up after very tricky times and trying again.

An air steward, because I loved airports. I wrote a letter to British Airways when I was seven and I’ve got the reply in the loft, which says, “You’re a bit young at seven but do stay in touch.” I was that kind of kid who was eager to start the ball rolling.
