Well, there are more job prospects after 'Love Island'.

I've always been blown away by how unique Brian Limond's mind is.

Where I come from, everyone talks like me. It's working-class Edinburgh.

You will always worry - a wee lad from Edinburgh going up on stage in Glasgow.

Children are brutal and have no malice, which makes everything they say horribly cutting.

I have always been a comedian - that has always been my job and it is what I want to do for a long time to come.

I just feel like 'Love Island' is like a fantasy TV show. We're showing our, sort of, in my opinion, a comedy ideal of what paradise is like.

I get recognised on the phone because it's harder to cover up your voice than your head. You can put a hat on or something, but I can't do accents.

I used to be on a live show with Caroline Flack, and I think I only got on that because I was a comic in Spain and ended up getting on well with her.

The one place I always get recognised for my voice - and this is the God's honest truth - is when I'm at the till in Topman paying for my clothes. Every time.

A lot of ones I've really chased and wanted - as a comic, I've always wanted to do a 'Mock The Week' - it's always discussed, but for whatever reason it doesn't happen.

I definitely enjoyed it and I am glad I did university - four years of not being in the public eye - and I met all my best friends doing it, so I am definitely glad it happened.

But with voice-over on a reality TV show, I think I'm pretty up there, maybe one of the best. It's a confidence boost, which helps my stand-up because I'll try more interesting stuff.

I probably wouldn't be doing comedy, if it wasn't for the fact that I was doing stand-up and getting a few gigs, while I was also applying for law internships and getting absolutely nothing.

My father Rodger is your typical 'funny without knowing it' kinda guy. When he says something that creates shock or joy in a room, I love watching his confused face as he tries to work out what it is he did.

My stuff is observational, what people do with their lives from the angle of a man that can't pull it off. So if I talk about having a family, it would be through the medium of a man who is in no fit state to be given a child to look after.

I guess the argument is you chose to be in the public eye and, therefore, you're giving your life up for a certain level of scrutiny and you've got to accept that. The trade-off between being on 'Love Island' and not being on 'Love Island' is very skewed into the positive.
