Up early? Usually 7.30am – not super early. I get up and do my workouts to get them out of the way.

Advice for Sunday slobs? If you’re hectic and stressed through the week, you should see the weekend as a chance to exercise, prep meals and get an early night, because what you do on the weekend determines how you feel on Monday.

Were Sundays always healthy? No. Years ago I’d be coming out of a nightclub at 3am. I met my wife, Rosie, at a rave. I like a day on the sofa watching movies, having a cuddle, but it’s not like when we had one baby who slept all day. The kids demand attention.

What are you watching? Rosie and I just watched Baby Reindeer. But with the kids – a five-year-old, a four-year-old, a one-year-old and one on the way – we’re more likely to be watching Kung Fu Panda or princess films on Disney.

What are you eating? I might make an egg and bacon sandwich for breakfast. I love going out for a good Sunday roast with a pint of coke and a sticky toffee pudding. I’m quite greedy and could do a tub of Ben & Jerry’s in a single sitting. But not every day!

Sunday housework? I have to clean repeatedly. I’ll do breakfast, maybe a recipe, share a video, then do lunch… And I work from home. And Rosie works from home, too. I can’t keep up with all the cleaning.

Sunday arguments? I’m good at cleaning the dishes, the bowls, the cups. But I get bored and lose attention with the knives and forks. And I’ll leave clothes in a pile on the chair, because I might change my outfit three times a day…

Sunday me-time? If the sun’s shining, I’ll go out for an hour or two on the motorbike – I’ve got a Triumph cruiser.
