Episode 026: Big John

You know he loves a Chinese.

You know he loves a bosh.

In this interview, filmed at Chariots Fish and Chip shop in Romford (not Essex anymore apparently Rich, you buffoon), you'll get to know the real Big John.

He dismisses the idea of being an influencer, and that's one of the reasons I wanted to have this conversation - I'm intrigued by somebody that became well-known as he approached 50, and how it's changed his and his family's lives.

In John's words: 'I'm just a normal bloke who's got a bit of a following, who can resonate with people. There are hundreds of thousands of people just like me."

Enjoy this interview, where we talk about everything from being paid to travel the world, famous friends and fans - including Conor McGregor, what he did before becoming well-known, whether he's been approached to do I'm a Celebrity - the reality TV show he'd most like to do - and the most surprising answer to the dinner party question I've ever heard.
