"I remember seeing the video on Top of the Pops, which is chilling at first, but epic when it gets to the big guitar break. The first single I bought My mum had this little record player that used to keep me very entertained, so I got her to buy me Ring My Bell by Anita Ward for my birthday or Christmas, from a record shop in Wolverhampton."
"The song I do at karaoke I recently took part in Soccer Aid, and one of the traditions is that they have karaoke after, so I did I Have Nothing by Whitney Houston. It's a big number, so I'm not sure what possessed me; I just went for it and belted it out. I got a standing ovation, so I can't have done too badly."
"The song that changed my life One Moment in Time by Whitney Houston came out in the summer of the 1988 Olympics. It embodied everything that I was feeling at that moment where you are more than you thought you could be. I had it in my mind that I would go on to win an Olympic gold medal, and it kind of fuelled that passion and desire even more."
The narrator first fell in love with Bohemian Rhapsody at nursery school after seeing the Top of the Pops video, finding the opening chilling and the guitar break epic. A childhood first single was Ring My Bell by Anita Ward, purchased on a small record player. Karaoke choices include Whitney Houston's I Have Nothing, performed at Soccer Aid to a standing ovation. The narrator knows lyrics to a-ha songs and prefers Candy by Cameo at parties. Merry Xmas Everybody by Slade has become unbearable, while My Heart Will Go On is a guilty pleasure. One Moment in Time inspired Olympic ambitions.
