He said: “That first night I wrote a will, I thought I was going to die. “If I could go from being absolutely on top of the world to being told ‘the bottom part of your heart isn’t working’, I kept thinking in my head, ‘Well, what if the top half stops working overnight?’.

“When you get told that you really realise what your responsibilities are. I’ve got a partner, Maisie [Smith], I’ve got a family. "I’ve got two little nephews and all of that stuff really comes to the front of it all. I was on the heart ward with about six elderly people, I was at least 30 years younger than them.”.
