Last crime you committed I’m not gonna tell you that, am I? First song at your wedding ‘Ain’t Nobody’ by Chaka Khan.
Last song at your funeral I haven’t really thought about it – I’d probably leave that up to someone else. ■ Lapland, BBC One, Sat 24 Dec, 10pm.

Last extravagant purchase you made A cashmere hat. £80 is extravagant, isn’t it? First film you saw that really moved you Kes.
First time you realised you were famous When people were looking at me funny, and I realised it wasn’t because they thought I was going to steal something from them. ‘Stop staring at me, I wasn’t even gonna do anything! Oh wait, you probably saw me on The Bill last night.’
Last lie you told It was a few days ago. I’m not gonna tell you what it was. First movie you ever went on a date to Saving Private Ryan with me missus.
Last time you cried What was the cartoon we were watching the other day? Kung Fu Panda 2! There’s a bit where the kid finds out someone’s not his real father – I shed a tear at that.

Oh, I don’t know about that – hang on, I’ve got a friend here, I’ll ask . . . Truthful, loyal and generous. He’s only saying that ‘cos I made him poached eggs and bacon, though.
Last time you made an impulse buy and regretted it I bought a coat, got it home and realised it looked shit. Gave it to someone else. First concert you ever attended I can’t think of any . . . I went to a lot of raves though, when I was 15.

First thing you’d do if you ran the country Lower the age of retirement. Last meal on earth – what would it be Three courses: won ton soup, lobster and chips, my mum’s crumble.

Last time you exploited your position to get something To book a table for 13 for a Christmas dinner at The Bradgate. I’ll say it again so maybe they’ll give me some freebies in the future. The Bradgate. The Bradgate! 6 THE LIST 15 Dec 2011–5 Jan 2012
