But back in 2016 he joined us here at the Southbank Centre to discuss a more serious topic; depression and mental health. As part of our Changing Minds festival Delaney sat down for a frank conversation with Andrew Hankinson, author of You Could Do Something Amazing With Your Life (You Are Raoul Moat).

That conversation can be revisited here, via this recording, which we subsequently released as a podcast.

‘I was cool with me dying – which is a bummer, you shouldn’t be that way – but when I realised that I didn’t have control over whether I potentially killed other people [through drunk-driving] that was not ok’
