    Trenton Snips: children's author

    The author of beloved kids books like Frozen Hedgehog, Tiny Snake and The Sausage And The Swan, Trenton Snips took his own traumatic childhood and turned it into art. A cherished author, he had it all - until one day he decided to use his platform to vociferously express his political opinions. Here, he discusses the omnipresent gremlin in his work and why he was forced to pivot to gibbons.

    Ernie Bunce: goalkeeper

    Ernie Bunce was one of the most controversial players ever to grace a football pitch. But an increasingly violent goalkeeping style saw Bunce go from 'Ernie the eccentric goalie' to 'Ernie the irredeemable s******d'. Here, he explains why he regrets nothing and what he whispers to the pigs on his farm in Devon.

    Hank Gurbidge: Formula One driver

    You might know him as the Durex Dude. You may never have seen him without a helmet or a condom on his head. But beneath the latex and underneath the racing helmet, stood Hank Gurbidge, a complex and troubled man. Here, he describes his foray into fashion and why he has been reduced to racing cyclists in the streets.

    Bernard Clant: graphic street artist

    "One mistake and I could be back in prison." Trailblazing graphic street artist Bernard Clant never played by the rules. Here, he tells us how this approach - and, more directly, his fear of dogs - came to  ruin a once glittering career.
