Whenever I'm in Glasgow I go and stand outside the front of the house I grew up in, which is in Mount Vernon.

I'm really passionate about pantomime because it is often the first introduction for a child to theatre, and if that child has a great experience at a pantomime they will continue to come year after year.

I don't feel sorry for myself, because I'm living my dream. Even when I was a little boy I used to stand in the playground and pretend I was on 'Opportunity Knocks.'

For some reason I seem to be a massive hit with middle-aged women. I seriously don't know what it is.

I did archery when I was in high school. In our gym class we had two weeks of archery, and I remember taking the bow and arrow and firing it up and across the street into a car parking lot.
