In an extract, according to The Mirror, from his first autobiography with Ant, Ooh! What a Lovely Pair, he wrote: ‘After that crushing rejection, I made a momentous decision: that was it – I was going to retire from acting. I was eleven.’

He continued: ‘Later on, when I was about fourteen, I did briefly consider following in his footsteps, and the footsteps of my Godfather, Father O’Connell, and becoming a priest.’
