How long have you been playing?
Four years, since I was sixteen. I just went and bought a guitar and really enjoyed it.

There were two blonde bombshells at heat 3 of Raw Talent. Did you exchange beauty tips with Alexis or did you just exchange catty looks?
!!!????…

Would you ever put yourself forward as the 4th member of Atomic Kitten if it meant you could write your own songs?
No, not at all. It’s a commercial band, even if you could perform your own songs, the image and all that stuff isn’t…

…But think about the money…
But it’s not about the money.

Emma and Pete
"Weasels!"

Can you dance?
Slightly.

What was your favourite gig?
U2 in Paris, at Omnisports theatre, it was great.

What hair products do you use?
John Freda… ‘Beach Blonde’.

Is he the one off 'this Morning'?
No, that’s Nicky Clarke or whatever.

What do you tend to write about most?
Things that I’ve experienced.

Have you ever larked Rialio down a ten-foot?
You what? Rialio… Is that that game when you’re kids and you run about… Yeah. I can’t remember how you play it or anything, but I remember playing it as a kid.

Emma and David
David jabs Emma

How much is a pint of milk?
I don’t know, I normally buy it in Litres.

OK… How much is a Litre of Milk?
Sixty nine pence.

How about 4 litres?
I don’t know, I don’t drink that much milk…

You’re called Rugg, have you ever played Rugger?
No,

If you did, what position would you play?
I dunno, quarterback… Is that right?

No… Have you been to the deep yet?
I haven’t had time, and I’ve seen that many pictures of it that I probably don’t need to go anyway.

Do you have to deal with hecklers?
I have to deal with them constantly when I go busking. You get guys coming up to you and asking you to go for a drink. You just have to be direct and brutally honest.

During Raw Talent, Do you regret not going on-line and voting for yourself thousands of times?
No, I don’t regret it, because at least I know that the votes I got, I got honestly. And I’m all down to honesty. So I’d only be kidding myself if I were to go online and vote for myself, I wouldn’t be proving how good I was.
