He once explained that cutting out all the trappings of wealth is part of his bid to combat depression.
“We have sold the big house and moved into a smaller home. I owned a Rolls Royce Phantom but I sold that too.
“Instead I paid £2,000 for a 15-year-old Mercedes S-Class which caught my eye online because of its old-fashioned half-wooden steering wheel. But all I really need is a car big enough for me to fit this big body into.”
“I used to love leading the flash life, like most red-blooded young men. No longer. I’m not interested in material possessions. Not any more. They mean nothing.”
“Once I stop fighting I will lead a quiet family life. It has to be stress-free because stress is a big part of depression and that’s one reason why I have simplified my life.”
“Having a million pounds in later life would not make me any happier than a fiver in my pocket.”
