In 2017, he was interviewed by Visit Staffordshire and said "To most of us it [Staffordshire] is the beating heart of Great Britain.

"This is where it all happens.

"It's a fantastic place to come visit for so many reasons.

"I used to love running wild as a kid with the dogs on Cannock Chase and Seven Springs, which are some of the most beautiful places on earth."

Both series of the Striking Out are available to watch now.
