And I have had...

the biggest like i've managed to kind of manufacture like getting to do all these like different i've got done so many things that i love doing but obviously that's all come from doing the last thing i was given a nine day contract and i was meant to be behind camera so i was meant to be a reporter so i wasn't even meant to be seen on camera and they just put me

on the first last leg to show that I was going to be the reporter who'd be out and about later on in the week.

So I was on with Hills the first part of the very first last leg at the Paralympics in 2012.

Then I come off and then Josh comes on.

And then the next day they called me in and they were like, you're not going to be the football reporter anymore.

We want you to do...

this show and i was like well what am i meant to do on there now like just sit there every night but before the last leg did you obviously you were a reporter but did you think about being a comedian did you think about being a tv presenter did you think about any of that i didn't think about any of it you've got been mind uh when i mean i did a television journalism module as part of my journalism degree and i remember the assessment because said that my voice was too common for broadcast what yeah i remember i was like oh yeah

That was the Scouser that said that as well.

I love Liverpool, it's the greatest city on earth.

But I was like, come on, mate, let's have a word with yourself here.

It's like you're telling me that.

I thought regional dialects were in.

And so, yeah, I never had any ideas, any designs on television.

Even when I applied for Channel 4, when I did the YouTube video, you had to upload a YouTube video.

what you do three minutes of channel four airtime and i remember lee i saw the advert and it was like do you have a background in the media and i was like yeah are you disabled yeah and it's like do you have a background in paralympic sport and i'd actually been on the development squad for the rifle shooting to go to the paralympics no so i reported at an open day where they were trying to find athletes for london 2012 and as part of it obviously because i met the criteria i was allowed to try different sports yeah

And I tried rifle shooting.

It's the best I've ever been at anything.

Straight away.

And they stuck me straight in the squad.
