Summary at a Glance

"Years ago, when my father died and I was doing a study for the military into PTSD, I was working a lot with depressed and suicidal people and got infected with that mindsight and it was pretty awful.

"A few days later we were in my kitchen and we’d polished off the best part of a bottle of wine and I said: ‘tell me something about you that I don’t know,’ and she said: ‘I love you.’ I said: ‘oh my God, I feel the same, this is extraordinary.'".

Paul, who previously dated TV presenter Penny Smith and models Clare Staples and Liz Fuller, explained: "He said: ‘I’ve noticed you date some nice women, but you don’t like them really.’.

“The first time I did it, I thought – I wished I’d loved more, laughed more, been less competitive and realised that there was so much stuff to enjoy and I wasn’t because I was overly ambitious and just obsessed with obtaining more stuff and status,” he said.

"So, I shifted from being all about goals – got to achieve this, got to achieve that and if I didn’t, I could really get quite upset – to more of a value-driven life.
