1) How did you get into acting?
I played the Artful Dodger in Oliver at aged 12 (Under-studying Nigel Harman) It got great reviews and I got the bug. I did school plays and went on to do A-level theatre studies. My teacher begged me to go for drama school, which I did and got a place at Rose Bruford. I got an agent after 3 year BA HONS course in acting. My First job was London's Burning - the rest is history.

2) Are you married or single?
Married to my beautiful wife Emma.

3) What football team do you support?
Crystal Palace - but more of a follower than supporter!

4) What do you like to do in your spare time?
Play golf, love sport, but I went through a hip operation at the beginning of the year, so I have to take it easy! Socialise, I play music with a band called " The Leaf People "

I loved the challenge of my demise, but there were so many good times.

8) Who were your best friends on the show?
I made so many friends on the show. Angela obviously, Terry Kiely, Adam Alfrey, Casper, Danny Husbands - the list goes on, and I would be here all day.

My attention is now split between acting and my performance coaching business. I would love more opportunities in acting, but there is not as much as there used to be. I find Peak performance coaching incredibly rewarding. I love working with sports people and entertainers.
