Luckily that bit of gossip wasn’t true. I heard that my girlfriend [Ali Bastian AKA Becca Dean from Hollyoaks] and I had split up because she was seen dancing with some other men. I read that in The Sun the following day and it was extremely gutting.

 

I wouldn’t say she’s a wag She supports London Irish now but it’s taken a while to get her interested.

 

Did you know? I’m learning to play the guitar, although I’ve not got very far as yet. I bought the book ‘Guitar Playing for Dummies,’ which I’m reading through slowly. I did have a teacher, who was a friend of mine but we lived too far apart and we never got around to it.

 

He might mistake me for someone else. I wouldn’t want to meet Richard Skuse down a dark alley, he’s a nasty character and would probably bite my head off.

 

That’s as famous as it gets for me I met Mark Owen form Take That when they were staying in the same hotel up in Newcastle while they were preparing for their first gig of the comeback tour.

 

I did a pitch invasion at Reading’s Elm Park I was only 14 at the time, but everyone was so annoyed at the chairman that we bundled on and I grabbed the ball and scored a goal right in the bottom corner.

 

It was the funniest thing I’ve seen. Juan Leguizamon was going for a drop goal and Declan Danaher got his nose in the way and hit the ground pretty quickly.

 

If I wasn’t playing rugby I’d be studying for as long as possible and after that I don’t know.

 

It’s the only valuable thing I’ve got in my house
So I’d save my computer if I could salvage something from the rubble.

 

20/20 song: Something by ACDC, i’m not too sure which one.

 

I’m a bit of a film buff I try and go to cinema and watch DVDs when I can. I like to just chill out with friends and relax down the pub.
