Physical hardship is not the Biggins way. I feel as if I'm testing the boundaries of endurance when I can't get my favourite table at The Ivy. If there's a spider in the bath at home, I have to get my partner Neil to remove it. Hide

There's nothing I like more than talking about myself, so I spent a very pleasant two hours chatting to a lovely lady called Sandra.
