"I had such a solid structure - up at this time, go to work until this time, go back, unload the straw, load up the van again, go and see my Nan and give her the paper, go home, go to the gym and then that was it."

The star was asked if he was happier back then, and replied: "There's been a lot of times throughout my life where I've looked back and I've thought that was (happier), I think just because of the structure."

However, Sugg also said he was happy with the route he'd eventually gone down.

After finding fame on YouTube, Sugg went on to appear on TV shows like Would I Lie To You and The One Show.

In 2018, he was one of the contestants on Strictly and was partnered with professional dancer Dianne Buswell.

To get a sense of just how much Amazon is betting the house on its Lord of the Rings TV series, consider this: Peter Jackson’s Oscar-hoarding trilogy of JRR Tolkien’s revered fantasy novels cost $281 million to make. Amazon Prime Video, by contrast, has spent $250 million alone on the rights to Tolkien’s work. But not, however, the rights to The Lord of the Rings. Or The Hobbit.
