IV. Choose the item (A, B, C or D) that best completes the unfinished statement (or

I've always been a bit of an entertainer and played the funny man.
I was a part-time comedian for years, so I learned how to stand in front of audiences. It made me
sure of myself. I like being liked and I love making everyone smile.
I've lived in London all my life and have just moved to a larger house with my wife Clare and
our two children, Jimmy and Madeleine. We spend a lot of time just singing and dancing around
the house. I grew up with music because my dad is the pianist, Chester Harriott - who's still
playing, by the way. My working day is divided between television and writing cook books, though
TV takes most of my time. I spend about five days a fortnight working on the cooking programmes
I appear in. I eat all sorts of things at home but I only buy quality food. When I'm cooking, I
experiment with whatever is in the fridge - it's good practice for my TV series.
I'm a football fan and enjoy going to matches, but I'm a homeloving person really. I don't like
going to the pub but we do go out to eat about twice a month. There's nothing better than a night at
home playing with the children. I rarely go to bed before midnight. Late evening is when fresh
thoughts on cooking usually come to me, so I often write and plan my programmes then. When I
eventually get to bed, I have no trouble sleeping!
