The lady behind the cheese counter at my local supermarket thinks I'm the real thing and continually asks me for advice about her ailments, primarily her battle with her varicose veins. Not what you want to talk about when you're ordering a quarter pound of Stilton!

I've been almost physically assaulted by some fans who see me as a modern day Prince of Darkness. I received a huge amount of mail from NHS people who were grateful I had helped show the dilemma hospitals face today.

Ben is an absolute joy. He spends a lot of time laughing. Fatherhood is great. I'd recommend it to anyone, although you do spend the first few months being soppy and proud and boring all your friends... actually I probably won't ever stop doing that.
