‘My family have nothing to do with this industry. They stand on the sidelines bemused and very supportive, but have no idea what’s going on.’
He went on adding: ‘My dad is recently retired from working as a lecturer at a college near Hull, and it’s a really great way for him and my mum to see the world.
‘So my dad comes and dresses up as these mad characters, and my mum sits of the sidelines and just laughs at him. And they love it.’
