Who would you like to see playing you in the movie about your life? Who do you think the casting people would choose? Well if the job’s going, I’d certainly love to have a go. In reality, no idea... but I wish them luck!

What’s the punchline to your favourite joke? It’s a great one. I can’t give away the punchline as it’s too good, but the build-up is an epic novel. So if you ever catch me in the pub and we’ve half an hour to spare, I shall bestow it.

If you were to return in a future life as an animal, what would it be? So many great options. Most definitely something aquatic, though I know I wouldn’t want to be a male anglerfish (worth a Google).

If you were playing in an escape room, name two other people (well-known or otherwise) you’d recruit to help you get out? Well I suppose if I could choose anyone, I’d go for Alan Turing and Leonardo da Vinci. They might find it all a little odd but I’d just let them crack on with it.

What’s the best cover version ever? Impossible to answer. ‘Killing Me Softly’ by The Fugees, ‘Hurt’ by Johnny Cash, ‘Imagine’ by Eva Cassidy, ‘Gloria’ by Patti Smith: so many.

Whose speaking voice soothes your ears? Blindboy, for sure. I adore his podcast. I often fall asleep and wake up whilst he’s on some absurd tangent about the origin of socks or something.

Tell us something you wish you had discovered sooner in life? Audio books. I grew up telling myself I was a terrible reader and so never really pursued it. But recently I’ve been really enjoying listening to some old non-fiction adventure stories.

Describe your perfect Saturday evening? Cook up a good meal, maybe a barbie with some mates, a sunset motorbike ride and an early night. 

If you were a ghost, who would you haunt? Probably my pal Ben. But I’d be a nice ghost; he’d love that.

If you could relive any day of your life, which one would it be? I read this and thought of many, and am grateful.

What’s your earliest recollection of winning something? I wasn’t a particularly high achiever in school but I did taekwondo as a kid and I was always very proud of getting a new belt or competing. We don’t really ‘win’ things as adults now. I’ve still never won a raffle.

Did you have a nickname at school that you were ok with? And can you tell us a nickname you hated? Never had a nickname! Fuming. I always, subtly, try to make them stick but it never works.

If you were to start a tribute act to a band or singer, who would it be in tribute to and what would it be called? No one should have to hear me sing. But I love Roxy Music, so I guess… Fauxy Music (terrible).

When were you most recently astonished by something? We are currently running an expedition to explore this flooded mine in Wales, one of the oldest in Europe. It is truly astonishing under there. Unfathomable.

What tune do you find it impossible not to get up and dance to, whether in public or private? Anything by The Cat Empire.

Which famous person would be your ideal holiday companion? Keanu Reeves. Motorbike trip!

As an adult, what has a child said to you that made a powerful impact? Everything from kids is just pure gold. I always try to copy their ability to be themselves. A true lack of inhibition. 

Tell us one thing about yourself that would surprise people? I love everything outdoors, but I just can’t stand moths.

When did you last cry? On the train home last weekend: beautiful day, beautiful song, very grateful.

What’s the most hi-tech item in your home? Diving equipment. I’m working with Apeks as one of their global ambassadors, so I’m lucky enough to be testing out some of their new gear at the moment.

What’s a skill you’d love to learn but never got round to? Free diving. What an epic way to see the world.

If you were selected as the next 007, where would you pick as your first luxury destination for espionage? Madagascar. And then I’d ‘call in sick.’

Outlander: Blood Of My Blood starts on Starz on Friday 8 August.
