Q&A

What's your earliest memory?

Going to Lanzarote on holiday with my parents when I was six.

Who do you most admire?

The darts player Phil Taylor, for his dedication and winning mentality.

What are you afraid of?

Spiders and any other creepy crawlies.

If a film was made of your life, who would you want to play the lead role?

I wouldn't mind, as long as the leading lady was Cheryl Cole.

What's your guiltiest pleasure?

Chinese takeaways.

What was the most trouble you got into at school?

I didn't get into much because I was hardly ever there! The teachers knew I just wanted to play snooker.

What's the most expensive thing you've ever bought, apart from a house?

I bought a Ford Focus FG, but it got stolen last year. It was when we had all snow last year. I turned the engine on one morning to heat it up, went inside the house for a minute, and when I came back it was gone! Luckily I got it back. I also bought a really nice bed with a plasma TV on the end, which cost ?3,000.

Is there a piece of music that inspires you?

Not particularly, but I do like Jessie J and Rihanna.

If you had a time machine and could go anywhere forwards or back, where would you go?

I'd go forward a few billion years and watch the end of the world. I enjoy watching the Brian Cox programmes about the universe and the planets - it's fascinating.

If you could come back in your next life as an animal what would it be?

A fly. I'd like to be a fly on the wall in a few places...like Cheryl Cole's bedroom!
