What’s the best thing about being home?
Seeing Family, eating takeaways and gotta be playing football again/learning all the football scores.
What do you miss most about island life?
Sleeping on the beach with everyone under the stars.
What was your most memorable moment?
The final beach party.
Worst part of the Shipwrecked experience?
Having to send people “home”.
Who did you get on best with?
Standard that is my lads Jack, Matt & Marv. No-one was as tight as us.
Anyone you won’t miss?
The chickens, they were a nightmare for waking us up.
Who did you fancy?
By the end of the show Tiger Island was looking well hot for talent! So I’d say I fancied Susan, Brie, Diva & Adelina they were all fit and were all in my top 4 ladies Shipwrecked 2008 when me and the lads used to weigh it up in ‘lads chat’.
Would you do it all again?
I reckon if they said you could live on Tiger Island forever I’d say “where’s the boat???”
Would you recommend it to anyone else?
Most definitely…I reckon that half of Loughton will be applying next year after how much I’ve sold it to them.
How has the experience changed you?
To make sure you live every day, don’t neglect the little things around you in life. I’ve realised how lucky I am to have so many family and friends who love and care for me so much. Made me less selfish and more a team player and think of the consequences of your actions to the others around you.
Was being “shipwrecked” what you had expected?
No way it was even BETTER. Don’t get me wrong there are some bumps along the way but you’re part of something special and you make some unbelievable memories along the way!
What does the future hold for you now?
Well that’s standard.. once a black cabbie always a black cabbie!!! Just gonna finish what I started before I hit the island “The Knowledge”, it’s in the blood you see.
