How would you describe your

relationship status?

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

a singular man, falling through the

air, hurtling ever closer to his

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 first celebrity crush?

(And what does it say about you?)

I saw the music video f

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 to the girl, “I don’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

ng an eye on me.

would play you in a film?

Loaf. But I want him

to play me as he is now, fr

my childhood right throu

the present. No prosthese

CGI, I want him to look l

Meat Loaf. I think he’s a

handsome man.

The worst lie you’ve told

I would skive off school b

saying my grandma was il

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

serious so you can get more time off.”

How do you feel about Greggs’

vegan sausage rolls?

Love it. I was a vegetarian up until

last week or so, but a sausage roll is

t, they should be enjoyed

ot eating meat shouldn’t

you to not being able to

ience sausage rolls.

do you smell like?

, sadness and onion rings.

’s headline tour kicks off

t on 22nd November

“I’m just a

singular man

hurtling ever

closer to his

demise”
