Quizzed about his ambition to be a rapper, he said: "Oh yeah, 100 percent. I still kind of do. I was 'Big Tub', that was my rap name. I was very paranoid about my weight."
The 28-year-old took his teenage hobby a step further by recording some of his early raps with his bandmates the Tabby Cats.
He said: "I didn't know how to scratch (a record), so I used to pull up and down the zip on my hoodie and record it. It sounds exactly like it! (We were) Big Tub and the Tabby Cats."
