I love Ladbroke Grove, but everyone knows where I live.
Going back to school, having done 'Byker Grove' and being on the telly when you're 13, all the kids are very jealous and it can make it a quite hostile environment.
When our characters in 'Byker Grove,' PJ and Duncan, shared a storyline, we became really close. We'd go out to the pictures, stay at each other's houses, have parties when family members were away.
If it wasn't for 'Byker Grove' we wouldn't be where we are today.
We left 'Byker Grove,' had a short recording career and suddenly it finished. The invites to premieres dried up and overnight things stopped. We realised very quickly how fickle this business is. Thinking you've lost it all makes you appreciate it a lot more and it sticks with you.
Lefty Grove could throw a lamb chop past a wolf.
The soundtrack for 'Hemlock Grove' got me into all this goth folk gypsy music like the Dead Brothers.
I went to Fountain Valley High School. I remember watching Grove Shakespeare productions here. It left a big impression on me.
We saw the band as an acting job - it was an extension of 'Byker Grove.' We were even still called PJ and Duncan.
We kind of owe everything to 'Byker Grove.' It's where we learnt to do what we do.
