How would you describe your

relationship status?

Single as f*ck. Definitely. I’m just...

a singular man, falling throughthe

air, hurtling ever closer tohis

inevitable demise.

What is the craziest

rumour you’ve heard

about yourself?

That I hired a comedy

writer to come up with

jokes for my social media,

which is obviously a load

of f*cking nonsense because

my jokes are mainly about

pubes and sh*tting.

Who was your firstcelebritycrush?

(And what does itsayaboutyou?)

I saw the music videof

Marmalade on TV,and

registered a response

in me that I was not

expecting... What

does it say about

me? I like really

talented ladies.

Your first kiss in

three words?

Nervous. Long.

Embarrassing... “Long

because, in the run-up

to it, I kept saying tothegirl,“Idon’t

want to kiss you because I think

tomorrow you’ll regret it.” And there

was an audience – all my pals were

there, it was at a party.

Most A-list Instagram follower?

Tom Holland. I’m a big fan. He’s never

replied to my Stories or anything. I like

people who follow you without saying

hing.He’s like, “I don’t

ngage here, I’m just

a wee look.” Spider-Man

ngan eyeonme.

would playyouina film?

Loaf. ButI wanthim

toplaymeasheis now,fr

my childhoodright throu

the present. No prosthese

CGI, I want him to lookl

Meat Loaf. I think he’sa

handsome man.

The worst lie you’vetold

I would skive off schoolb

saying my grandma wasil

be like, “F*cking right, tell them it’s

serious so you can get more time off.”

How do you feel about Greggs’

vegansausage rolls?

Loveit.I wasa vegetarian up until

lastweekorso, but a sausage roll is

t, they should be enjoyed

oteating meat shouldn’t

ience sausage rolls.
