I know very little about farming!

There's nothing better than a cold beer.

Emmerdale' is and always will be in my DNA.

I'm young but I can't wait to marry and have kids.

I'll be happiest when I've got my wife and my home.

Carbs get a bad press, but they're pretty important.

There's no one who puts more pressure on me than myself.

We're pretty sure Liz fell pregnant on our wedding night.

I'm happiest when I'm with people who have known me for years.

I find it really easy to be aggressive, I find it easy to cry.

I was eight years old and I was playing rugby for my local club.

As an actor, you always have aspirations to play different roles.

Yeah I had the poof thing before the acting because I did ballet.

The vast majority of my fan mail comes from older women and gay men.

Getting trouble is always a problem when you are young and in a soap.

When I'm out and about, I never get chatted up by women in an obvious way.

I just want to be a normal lad and not known as 'that bloke off the telly.'

Australia has the British way of life - and great weather. I could live there.

That's one thing I need to work on, my flexibility. I'm not mobile enough, am I.

Emmerdale's been great. I'm very biased but I think it's in a really good place.

I knew I wanted to marry Liz the day I met her. Deep down I knew she was The One.

If I thought someone was just chatting me up because of being on TV, it'd kill me.

A family with two kids and a dog, however cheesy it might sound, that's what I want.

Obviously I went through my adolescence on national TV, but it's great looking back.

If I cry on telly, I'm genuinely crying. If it's a gritty scene it can come naturally.

I missed out on the crash course that everyone else gets on 'Strictly' on every dance form.

It bewilders me when people speak to you rudely or are mean, because I'd never be that way.

I'm a massive fan of 'Strictly' so it's incredible. I'm so happy that I can be a part of it.

I'd love a racing career, but as I didn't start until I was 28 I missed years of experience.

Emmerdale' is a great place to work and I genuinely wouldn't be here if I didn't want to be.

Let's not forget that I am an actor and I'm a real budding, enthusiastic and ambitious actor.

With the waltz, especially the Viennese Waltz, it looks so beautiful and effortless and flows.

I don't live too far from my mum so I can go round for home-cooked meals and get my ironing done.

I always liked dancing and you'd go to class and find you had an hour acting and an hour of ballet.

It is a weird job where you can kiss someone at work then go back to your loved ones and it's all ok.

My experience of dancing is exclusively at weddings or parties with alcohol involved and in the dark.

I've had a couple of storylines in the past that have never been done by a soap before, which is nice.

I have plans to send my little daughter and son into dancing because I'd love for them to enjoy it too.

The 'Strictly' experience is really like no other - the training and work that goes into it is immense.

My dancing idol is my dad. Growing up watching him dance to Northern Soul I used to think 'He looks cool.'

I'm not easily offended so whether it be a compliment or a derogatory comment, it really doesn't bother me.

I spend most of my time at home dancing with my daughter to things like 'Frozen' and 'The Greatest Showman.'

I am a bit of a domestic goddess to be honest. I am a clean freak so I love doing the hoovering and the cleaning.

It's always nice to hear nice things, but I don't suddenly go out and think I'm the best thing since sliced bread.

Maybe in another life I would have liked to have been a dancer. But I was a cheeky chappy who wanted to be an actor.

I've very much moved on and I want to pursue other things. I've done 'Emmerdale,' I wanted to move on and do other things.

Most of my saucy comments are from gay guys. Some of them are pretty explicit in the things they say, especially on Twitter.

As for cooking, I like making lasagne and spaghetti Bolognese, I have perfected my porridge, and I like making Sunday roasts.

Night shoots are great. They always feel quite mischievous and naughty because you're out working while everyone else is in bed.

I suppose when some people see you on TV, they expect you to be this flamboyant, champagne-drinking stud. But I'm not like that.
