When I was seven, eight years old living in Cyprus, one of my closest friends then called Darren Williams was a fantastic swimmer.

And he and I would swim all the time in the British High Commission pool.

And he had an elder brother called Ricky, who was super cool.

He was about four or five years old.

He used to wear a shark's tooth around his neck.

And I had that kind of hero worship for him.

He was just too cool.

He was very cool.

He wouldn't really speak to us, but he could do everything brilliantly.

And this is the sort of character that Haston meets, the person he thinks Ellie would like him to be.

And then on my second trip to Paros, on the flight to Athens, I was sitting on a row with two Aussies and a Kiwi girl, and they were drinking wild turkey.

And this was about midnight.

And we didn't get talking, but I was looking at them, and I was leaving them to the conversation.

When we all met, coincidentally, in Piraeus...

about six hours later, they were still drinking the wild Turkey and we got chatting and, and we got on like a house on fire and they said, where are you going?

I said, I'm going to Paris.

And they're like, well, we're going to Santorini.

Do you know, do you want to hook up?

And I thought, let's do that.

So we got on the ferry together.
