I was about 3-4, visiting family friends in North London, I took myself off to explore their house and a big tin of silver car paint fell off a bench in front of me and went everywhere. All the adults freaked out and I was blamed for knocking it over, but I didn’t. I’m 36 now and still bitter about it.

I saw Jean Michel Jarre looking at synthesizers in a shop window in Coventry on a Sunday in the early 80s, no one believed me but it was definitely him.

Being given raw sausages to eat as I walked around the market with my mum in the 80s. I would suck the meat right out of them lol.

I swear to god – when I was about 3, my grandmother opened an orange and there was a fat spider in the middle. I refused to eat anything orange-shaped for years, but absolutely nobody believed me.

I was bitten by a snake when I was a kid on holiday. I have the bite marks to show. But still no one believes me.

It was Christmas Eve as a kid and the mirror above my bed was rattling which woke me up, then a load of snow fell off the roof. Genuinely did not imagine it. Given it being Christmas Eve, you can imagine why nobody believes me.
