I loved being back out on the pitch. Although I have not been in full training, I felt pretty good.

I am still feeling my calf strain, so I have been unable to train this week. I will again have to sit out the weekend action, but the lads are climbing ever higher to safety.

I am hoping to film another ad in the summer for Carte Noire.

It never ceases to amaze me the lengths that some people will go to to try and speak to me or meet me.

English football has just had a transfer window imposed for the first time, so it will be interesting to see how managers cope with the squads they have until it re-opens.

I have recently started acting lessons in south France, and I intend to commence acting lessons at Rada.

I went see the horror thriller, Hannibal. I am a massive fan of Anthony Hopkins. He is superb in the film.
