When I started presenting 'Scrapheap Challenge,' I was rubbish at tuning V8 engines.

For over 20 years, I was in the Army, and it's given me a real love of history.

Although I am the oldest with the biggest moustache, my brothers are progressively taller; I put it down to the extra potatoes they were able to eat after I left home.

I had an idyllic childhood with the freedom to go and play.

There was always laughter in our house. And I have great memories of my dad making an Ulster fry on a Saturday morning. They were legendary even though he couldn't really cook.
