During an interview with Simon he was asked if he ever had plastic Surgery? “No, absolutely not. I have not had cosmetic surgery,” he sniggers. Botox then? He sucks his (extraordinarily white) teeth. “Yes, I’ve had Botox, but not in an obsessive way. Then again, every guy I know who works in the City has had it now.” And what about the hair? Some thinks it might be a wig. “No, it’s all real. I’ve never dyed my hair, ever, and I wouldn’t,” he says emphatically, though his eyes twinkle rather furiously. “But yes, I like to take care of myself. I work out. I take lots of vitamins. What can I say? I think I look good for my age [he’s 48].”And finally they build up to the gay question. He sees it coming five miles off, and to his credit, laughs about being regarded as effeminate. “It’s probably my mother’s influence,’ he laughs. (She is a former dancer, and he does tend to glide around the room, although you could just put that down to expensive shoes). But no, he says he is not gay. “If I was, why hide it? It’s not as if the music business would be an odd place for a gay man to work. And anyway, if I was trying to hide the fact that I was gay, I would be off playing rugby every Saturday, wouldn’t I?”?
