  3. “Are not going to be ironed, and I would go and I say, Dad, mum says your shirts are not going to be ironed. I'd tell your mother. And they're standing in the same room. And I would sit there on the stairs, listening to them fight and argue. And then he'd walk out and she'd walk out. I would just carry on. I'd go to the fridge, see what was for dinner. But they were loving parents, but they just couldn't live together. They were too volatile.”

  4. “It was happy and very unhappy, both in the same breath. They adored each other and then they hated each other. And they adored each other and they hated each other and I was caught in the middle. So I was the adult in our household from a very young age. Innocent, I loved my mum and dad desperately, and I know that they did their very best for me, but it made me grow up very, very fast and very quickly. And when they would have an argument, they would do that awful thing of, Joe, tell your father.”

  5. “I would literally be thrown out the class with others, and I was told I was lazy and stupid. And I knew I was neither one of those things, but I just couldn't follow an exam paper, multiple choice to me was the worst thing in the world because I'd put my cross against an answer and then I'd watch all the sentences and all the letters move around on the page. And by the end of it I would probably have answered three or four questions out of 20 and I'd fail and then I would pick up a book and I would read it and there'd be no problem at all and I would think I'm cured and then sure enough it would happen again and it still happens to me today not as much as it did when I was a child. Manage perfectly well now, but that's probably because I'm not so anxious about it.”

  6. “I just couldn't keep up. I couldn't keep the words in my head. The things I was really good at were things like biology because it's visual. I was very good at history because I could listen to the stories and I would memorize those. And I was very good at religious studies, believe it or not, because again, they're based on stories. But mathematics, English, languages, I struggled above and beyond.”

  7. “Yep, I'm in lockdown, London. And my son, of course, we've been living in lockdown together. And actually, you know what, guy, we laugh every single day as a family. And I was thinking, when would I ever have had this time with my 19-year-old son again? Never. He was doing my highlights last night, colouring my hair. It's awful, but there's some really funny moments in the whole thing as well. He had rubber gloves on and I was sitting there trying to direct him. And we were literally aching with laughter.”

  8. “Was a real breaking point Gary came home, he had a pizza in his hand, and I just said, Gary, there's hundreds of orders come in and we've got to have them done by the end of the week. And he said, let me just have my supper and I'll do it. And he sat down to eat his dinner. And of course, I touched everything in the kitchen with fragrance. So his pizza tasted of nutmeg and ginger. And he said, if we carry on, we're going to end a divorce. I looked at him, he said, I'm going to go and have a shower and just, I'll come back in a minute. And I thought, oh my God, no. Because I'd put all these seashells in the bath and I was scenting them with lavender sea lavender oil. And I heard him scream as he went in and he walked down the hall and he said, okay, that's it. We need a shop.”
