Favourite day of the year?

My favourite day of the year is always the first barbecue of the summer as that means it's good vibes good food good weather company and plenty more to come, whenever that day comes is my favourite day of the year.

The best gift you’ve ever received

The best gift I've ever seen is actually a hard one and I know I sound like such an old man with this answer but I can't lie it's my slippers, it's fully changed my life, I live another level of comfort when I'm at home and it’s these slippers man.

Your favourite place in London

London is one of the big places where there's hundreds of things to see and do, thousands of things but to me, it's Stretham Nandos, that's a special place me and my friends yeah I can't really describe it too much it's just a Nandos but it's a special one for me.

Favourite television character

My favourite TV character is Nacho Varga from Better Call Saul/the Breaking Bad world but yeah that guy was just such a badass, you just knew when you saw him on the screen that something cool is gonna go down I love Better Call Saul, underrated.

Biggest pet peeve

My biggest pet peeve is just when someone's like a noisy eater or just like unaware of how disgusting they might be sometimes like yeah I hate that and I'm British so I have to bite my tongue, I never call people out on it.

Biggest realisation you’ve had this year

The biggest realisation about this year is that it's on me, like no one else is responsible for my success, my life, my positive and negative outcomes, like it is entirely on me and that is terrifying but also so exciting ‘cos it's that belief that I could achieve anything, and that blind faith that I will achieve it there's no guarantee but it's just that blind faith that I will achieve it

How would your friends describe you in one word?

Active I'm always busy and never taking a day off never rested I'm just active.

If you could turn into a food item, which would you pick?

A crunchie bar, I have no reasoning behind that, but I love crunchy, so a crunchie bar.

You have to use one utensil for the rest of your life, which are you picking?

If I had to use one utensil rest of my life, I would go spoon cause I guess you can get big enough spoons that they could act as a bowl, it could act as a knife, yeah spoon I guess.

Favourite underrated television show

Underrated TV show, I don't even know this underrated but I always scream that ‘Better Call Saul’ the best TV show out there and not many people have seen it that I know so yeah Better Call Saul, unbelievable.

Bougiest thing you’ve ever eaten

I wouldn't even say it was bougie, it was like $3 but I had alligators when I was in New Orleans ‘cause they have a quota of the amount that they can like farm and yeah I kind of had to try it from wasn't really bougie, it was cheap food.

Weirdest DM you’ve ever received

The weirdest DM I’ve ever received was actually last week and it was from a company, I don't know if it was real or fake but it was asking about promote that brand that sell celebrities farts in jar, where like someone could pay for a jar of a celebrity's fart, yeah I still don't believe it but yeah I got a DM about that.

Something you’re afraid of

Something I’m afraid of, I’m afraid of wasted potential, whether that’s mine or close friend of mine or even that even like your favourite footballer they don't fulfill the potential like, I’m scared of that, like I could be something and I’m just not for whatever reason.

Favourite childhood memory

Favourite childhood memory.. this is too hard, there's honestly too many, I had a good childhood that there's so many, so I would just say more like a memory I'd love to relive its school disco, a primary school disco, I just remember those being so much fun yeah, I’d love to relive one, one day.

Favourite way to spend free time

Favourite way to spend free time I don't find I have lots of free time in a week, but like going to the gym with my girlfriend cause I get to see her and I get to go to the gym so is that my release from the week and I'm so relaxed around her as well, it's like it's to the two in one, so yeah, I'd say that.

Best advice you’ve ever been given

Some of the best advice I’ve ever been given is to be your own biggest cheerleader, so like no matter what other people might say or think like that doesn't matter you've got to love yourself and what you do more than anyone or anything, you have to be your biggest fan because if you're not if you don't love what you do and you don’t rate it then why you doing it, so you just have to go for it and be unapologetic yourself and just love what you do.

If you could time travel, where would you go?

If I could go back in time assuming I'll be able to go back to the future that I don't have to stay in that. I would go to Stonehenge and figure out how the hell that got there and then I'll go into the pyramids and watch them get built and figure out how the hell that happened then I'll come back to the future and I would make millions by explaining it.

First thing you would grab in a fire

If I was in a fire I would grab .. I’ve got this box where I sort of keep old birthday cards and the old scrap bits of paper and messages and post-its from people over the years and it's got a lot of stuff from my late grandad that you wrote to me in there, so I’d grabbing that cause that's irreplaceable.

You’ve just won a million pounds, what are you buying first?

If I won £1,000,000, what am I buying first? I don’t even know if that’s enough to afford a house in London. I would buy a home studio space so I could create all the content in the world that I would like as well as you know, the equipment, the crew, I’d hire some people, and I’d invest first in myself and then the left over I will distribute to friends and family and charity.

What’s something that instantly cheers you up

It depends on what kind of mood I’m in, if I'm feeling flat, going to the gym 10 times out of 10 will cheer me up, no matter what mood I'm in but if not gone to the gym, then that sort of my first thing, If I'm still in a mood after that then watching something like The Inbetweeners or Peep Show, just like completely turning my brain off and it's just comfort and a cup of tea, yeah you're making me wanna have a cup of tea right now yeah
