I had about five minutes before I had to go on stage.

and I had two blobs of chocolate on the front of my outfit.

And again, if you're under lights, all that's visible.

So then I rushed up to the bathroom

Dabbed the chocolate with water, which made it look much worse.

Because then I had it hadn't really got rid of the chocolate and I had a wet pack, two wet packs where I put the water on.

Then I think, oh well there must be a dryer in here, because then I can dry it with a hand dryer.

No dryer.

All there were were paper towels.

So I then dabbed the the wet patch and the chocolate with the paper towel, which obviously makes it look even worse.

I then stand there thinking

I'm going on stage in three minutes, whatever it is.

And I look like I've got two places I've cackhandedly tried to remove some chocolate from my jumpsuit.

Then I realise I had this tie round my waist, which is like a sort of sash that you knot and you can put it wherever you like, and I just

put it rather cleverly over the two marks and luckily it could hang down over them and I think I got away with it on stage.

I checked a couple of times while I was on stage what was going on and I took it home and washed it that evening.

But that's the kind of pre-show drama I have.

I mean, I've got no pre show ritual

I get changed.

I might do a five minute vocal warm up which sometimes you do with me.
