I love stories, whether it be in film, book, or music. If it moves me then I am sold. As a child I used films to escape reality, in fact I probably still do. My happy place is the cinema.

My favourite genre is psychological thriller, I prefer a story that is a bit mean and moody. But I am happy to be recommended a good book in any genre. My favourite work of fiction is One Day by David Nicholls and my favourite non-fiction is Stephen King’s On Writing.

I am a huge sports fan. I love boxing, MMA and football, although these days I am coaching football rather than playing. I love watching sport, you might see me at the London stadium watching West Ham or at Wembley watching England.

Favourite holiday destinations are Woolacombe in Devon, Florida, Vegas and Thailand.

I enjoy going jogging and hitting the gym, but I also like a drink and a takeaway so the two count each other out. I’m far from perfect.
