Climbing Scafell Pike in the Lake District when I was about 15. The winds were about 85mph, my legs lifted and I nearly flew off. Thankfully somebody grabbed me.
I was stabbed in my 20s. It was a late-night mugging and, while taking my wallet, they stabbed me in my chest.
A car crash in the Utah mountains in 2005. We were driving from Arizona to Salt Lake City to go to a basketball game and the car slipped on black ice and we skidded off the motorway, flipped over and rolled down a ravine. The police officer said it was the worst accident he’d seen in 18 years when nobody died.
I was very ill with anorexia when I was a teenager. I went into hospital voluntarily, otherwise they were going to section me.
I don’t have children. I will leave my nieces money because girls need money of their own. Anything to make women independent.
It was a small gig and I was doing Three Minute Hero, which has a long, held note at the end, and I fell off the stage.
Not being able to perform adequately.
I was called the N-word in Romford, by someone stepping off a train as I was getting on.
I’m argumentative.
Fizzy like lemonade.
