It must be good to get away from the madness of the past month.

It’s been great, but it’s been mental. I must have spoken to every person I’ve ever known in my life, including my postman from 20 years ago!

Have you had many people tapping you up for money?

There’s been a bit of that but no more than normal. It’s mostly the people who used to do it in the old days before I became internationally wealthy! I’ve said I’m only going to give money to people who don’t ask – I thought that was a cunning way of doing it.
