Blammo!
2. What do you keep in your pockets?
A recipe book so I can write down any great ideas I have for new pies

I’d like to be a taster at a pie factory, and one day run my own company: Pieface’s Perfect Pies

When I have a pie to eat, I always worry that it might have a soggy bottom. I hate having a soggy bottom.

10. Do you have a pet?
If by pet, you mean my bestest friend in the whole world – then Paul the Potato!
