My mum and dad have always enjoyed life, and it's something that's been instilled in me. I wake up in a good mood most mornings.

I'm sure that my father becoming seriously ill when I was 14 had a lot to do with my going from chubby to fat.

My dad's one of the funniest men in the world. I grew up with him making me laugh so much I'd beg him to stop.
