Writing on X, the 37-year-old joked he was glad that was the only controversy engulfing him, joking: 'Man, I thought they had the CCTV footage of me eating haraam McDonalds chicken nuggets in a car park in Coventry. That would have been career ending...because I was ENJOYING them. God forgive me.'

The Pantomime Adventures of Peter Pan at Edinburgh Festival Theatre

Never in all my years as a reviewer did I imagine I'd give a five-star review to a pantomime. After all, I grumble every year about how it's not really my thing; good for an entry point into theatre for kids, but not really worth much more. Years of festive panto exposure must have steadily worn down my cynical carapace, however, because I thought The Pantomime Adventures of Peter Pan was a joy from start to finish.
