The Long Story:



Left a handful of scrappy A Levels at the school gates and ran to the big smoke with his best Zoolander impression to start modelling with Models 1. Joined a Boy Band in the early 90s for 3 roller coaster years of excess. Left the music world in 94 to present kids TV for the BBC and Channel 4.



Managed to spend it as quickly as earned and realised that however famous or wealthy, it can't make you happy if you can't look at yourself in the mirror.
