‘Everybody seemed to decide from the off that we was going to make it as much fun as we could.’
Speaking about his close relationship with GK Barry, Richard said: ‘She sees the world like I see the world. I felt I had known her all my life.
‘I like a bromance but it is usually with a bro. But that was great, it really helped me through the tougher times.’
