"If we go away to somewhere like South Africa, we do things separately... If we do go out for a drink, I’ll invariably be at one end of a big old table and he’ll be at the other."

Although it's not clear whether John was having us all on, as Greg has given a rather different account.

"I have a very close relationship with John," he said. “People don’t realise how close we are – he was my best man – he’s close to me 7/8 months of the year. What’s great about the partnership is that if one of us is down the other perks us up.

“We’re very close to each other physically and emotionally. We trust each other."
