“I heard that no one has ever actually died from gout which is quite reassuring. Externally I may look good but internally I’m shot to pieces. Saying that, if I can eat a kilo of cheese and lose half a pound then I’m not changing for anyone.

For lunch, he has another 250 gram “slab of cheese cut into chunks” while at work – where he often walks up to 20 miles a day inspecting various building sites.
