But there’s something delightfully old-school about sitting in the BBC – obviously wearing a bow tie and monocle – with a co-presenter who forgets there’s a webcam in there. It’s also nice to hear from the general public when they’re not swearing at you or asking to extend their credit limit.

I have something called ‘Siwanators,’ and if you’re a Siwanator, you’re strong. You’re powerful. You stand up to the bullies. If you’re a Siwanator, you’re nice. And the way you can tell if someone is a Siwanator is if they have a JoJo bow in.

The bow tie started off with one of my friends, Kunta Littlejohn. He said if you want to be anybody, you’ve got to rock the bow tie.
