Had a great time last night at the sporting retirement of one of my oldest friends (and total legend) @hailfabio1. Congratulations on such an amazing career, Stephen, and all the best for the future. We’ve come a long way since infant school at Percy Hedley! ⭐️⭐️⭐️
What an amazing day at the Great North Run. Congrats to everyone who did it! And special thanks to my team of pushers Lee Martin @gagreflexmanagement @bethan_mullins @assemarshall and Ernie!

There’s still time to sponsor me and raise some more money for the fantastic @smileforlifechildrenscharity, the link is my bio, stories and highlights. See you next time @great_run ❤️
Lost Voice Boy has been helping me get ready for the @great_run on Sunday, which I’m taking part in on behalf of @smileforlifechildrenscharity.

Couldn’t resist a quick day trip to the Fringe while I was in Glasgow this weekend. It was good to be back!
Just back from seeing @comefromawayuk at @newcastletheatreroyal and wow! What a show! My second time seeing it now and still as good. It’ll give you all the emotions!
