I was Popeye mad when I was a kid, and I'd eat spinach until the cows came home.

I was a really picky eater as a child. Because I was obsessed by Popeye, my mum and aunts would put my food in a can to represent spinach and we'd hum the Popeye tune and then I'd happily eat it.

Never eat spinach just before going on the air.

I don't like spinach, and I'm glad I don't, because if I liked it I'd eat it, and I just hate it.

My maternal grandmother would sit, before binge-watching existed, and watch 'Poirot' until the cows came home. You couldn't pull her away from it.

It's become normal for me to walk on set as Popeye, Frankenstein or an Elf or even a chicken.
