Night shoots are great. They always feel quite mischievous and naughty because you're out working while everyone else is in bed.
I've gone through my adolescence on TV so it's pretty cringey when I look back on some pictures and scenes, but that's part and parcel of being a child actor and growing up.
Because I enjoy training, obviously what comes with that is if you haven't been training, or you're not feeling like you're in great shape, then the last thing you want to do, like anyone, is to be seen by millions half naked.
It's always nice to hear nice things, but I don't suddenly go out and think I'm the best thing since sliced bread.
I am pretty quiet, and people say I'm shy.
It's funny how you can say performing is in the blood, and if I'm considered a performer being an actor, then it's certainly in the blood.
There's no one who puts more pressure on me than myself.
I don't want to let anyone down and I don't want to let myself down.
It's always nice to get a storyline - I know all actors say that, but it genuinely is, as it feels like the show's team are putting their faith in you to do it justice, so it's quite a compliment.
It's been good and a nice chance to work with some great actors and actresses - Natalie Anderson, Jeff Hordley, Emma Atkins, Charley Webb and Dominic Power.
Emmerdale' is a great place to work and I genuinely wouldn't be here if I didn't want to be.
I've had a couple of storylines in the past that have never been done by a soap before, which is nice.
I've always had aspirations to play other characters, but over the years I've always felt so happy and so challenged at 'Emmerdale.'
I left it entirely in the hands of the 'Emmerdale' team and had no input into how Andy would leave. I put my full trust in them to come up with a way for him to leave that was fitting for the character.
I've always enjoyed the big stunt scenes that I've had - from the barn fire when I first started in 'Emmerdale,' to years later when Victoria started a fire and Andy had to rescue people.
I want to continue to be challenged and feel a sense of fulfilment, like I have over the years at 'Emmerdale.' I've got aspirations to do other genres and I'm really keen to play a different character, whether it's in comedy or action, and just do something that's completely different.
I know very little about farming!
What was weird, as a 12-year-old actor, was being expected to behave like an adult while still being treated as a kid everywhere else.
It was only when I got to 21 that my personality started coming out a little bit more.
I probably eat about 300-350g of carbs a day. About 160g of protein, about 60-80g of fat, which I think is about 2,500-3,000 calories.
Carbs get a bad press, but they're pretty important.
I suddenly received a call from my agent offering me the chance to do 'Strictly' and I had to make the decision within an hour or two. I was doing a different job towards the end of the year so I had to change my plans, but it was a no-brainer.
I spend most of my time at home dancing with my daughter to things like 'Frozen' and 'The Greatest Showman.'
I've very much moved on and I want to pursue other things. I've done 'Emmerdale,' I wanted to move on and do other things.
I knew I wanted to marry Liz the day I met her. Deep down I knew she was The One.
My dancing idol is my dad. Growing up watching him dance to Northern Soul I used to think 'He looks cool.'
As an actor, you always have aspirations to play different roles.
I felt that as an actor I continued to excel and felt really comfortable and confident in myself that I wanted to at least give it a go and picture myself doing other things. It was testament to 'Emmerdale' that they gave me the confidence and creativity to pursue other challenges.
I think what 'Emmerdale' are excited about is that my exit storyline is the catalyst for other storylines for characters like Chrissie and Lawrence.
I won an award when I was 15 and my mum and dad were very proud and so was I but for me, individual things like that aren't as significant as I have been part of so much and there were weeks and months of hard work building up to those pinnacle moments and they can be full of moments of pride.
Liz knows me, she's known me since I was eight-years-old, and we're very happily married. And don't forget, she's watched me kiss numerous actresses on 'Emmerdale.'
Emmerdale' is and always will be in my DNA.
With the waltz, especially the Viennese Waltz, it looks so beautiful and effortless and flows.
It's dead flattering, isn't it? I have got a big gay following. I actually find it more flattering when a bloke comes on to you than a woman. I've even found myself flirting back sometimes!
I find it funny that I'm a pin-up.
I'm like most people. I keep fit for myself. I'm not religious about it but I like to get to the gym whenever I can.
When I'm out and about, I never get chatted up by women in an obvious way.
I missed out on the crash course that everyone else gets on 'Strictly' on every dance form.
Keep hydrated: I drink at least 4 litres of water a day.
I'll spend about an hour and a half working out: mobility, activate whatever muscles, a full-body session every time, some full-body exercises and some upper-body exercises.
I was eight years old and I was playing rugby for my local club.
Yeah I had the poof thing before the acting because I did ballet.
I always liked dancing and you'd go to class and find you had an hour acting and an hour of ballet.
In many ways 'Emmerdale' is a huge part of my life but in many ways it's not. I've always had so many interests elsewhere - family and friends and other interests away from that.
If I cry on telly, I'm genuinely crying. If it's a gritty scene it can come naturally.Collection: Cry
People forget I started on TV as a 7-stone 12-year-old - I'm bound to have changed. I've just grown up and filled out. I haven't been hammering it in the gym, and I haven't been thinking, 'Right, I need to look good.'Collection: Thinking
I suppose when some people see you on TV, they expect you to be this flamboyant, champagne-drinking stud. But I'm not like that.Collection: Drinking
If I thought someone was just chatting me up because of being on TV, it'd kill me.Collection: Tvs
I've never had knickers or marriage proposals. Most of my fans are blokes serving life in jail, troubled kids, and a lot of gay guys. I never get the mid-20s, beautiful women fanbase.Collection: Beautiful
