It takes my mind off things.īecky and I had been thinking about getting a pet, but I didn’t want to leave an animal unattended at home. After a tough day at work, I can get home and be daft for a few minutes. My job is often very stressful – I’m always having to apologise when I’ve done nothing wrong, and deal with angry, rude customers. I enjoy the absurdity of talking to my teddy bear.

If I’m watching TV or texting people, I’ll have Squishy under one arm. Just general stuff, like: “What am I going to do today, then?” It’s just a bit of fun. When I’m at home on my own, I’ll talk out loud to Squishy. I bought him as a bit of a joke, initially. I bought Squishy for myself from Morrisons last year. It’s nice to forget about your worries for a little while and be a child again. There is so much pressure on us all to be adults, and it’s not always the nicest world to live in. I spend a fortune in there! When she moves in with me next year I think my spare bedroom will become a bear sanctuary. She’s a huge soft toy fan – I’m always buying her birthday or Christmas presents from Build-a-Bear Workshop. My girlfriend, Becky, got me into soft toys. ‘There’s is so much pressure on us all to be adults. And if you have a relationship and it ends, at least you still have a teddy to cuddle. It’s a constant, comforting presence in your life. If they did say anything, I’d say that it’s Ted’s bed as well! I think everyone should have a soft toy of their own. I haven’t had any bad feedback from partners. Recently, I went to London for a few days, and I forgot Ted, so I had to cuddle a pillow instead. I need to have something soft to hold by my body. He’s been a big part of my bedtime routine for the past nine years. Luckily, he didn’t get picked apart or anything like that.Ī big part of my love for Ted is that I find it very comforting to cuddle him when I’m going to sleep. Last year, going into Glastonbury, Ted got properly searched – I think security thought he was a drug mule! They gave him a good squeeze. It’s nice to be able to get back to the tent late at night and have a cuddle, especially when it’s quite cold. Ted and I have been to Glastonbury together six times. But Ted is the one who hangs out in my bed and comes with me when I go on holiday. I have other soft toys that sit on top of my wardrobe. He’s a brown teddy bear, about 12 inches tall.
I got Ted as a present for my 18th birthday from my auntie. ‘I went away and forgot Ted, so I had to cuddle a pillow instead. I like the idea of the children being able to confide in him, like I have. Seriously, though, I would love for Big Fella to go a children’s hospice. I keep threatening people with it, saying: “I’ve left you Big Fella in my will.” A look of horror appears on their faces. I worry a lot about who will inherit Big Fella if I pop my clogs. I say it to Big Fella, and then I get myself ready and go to work and sit on reception smiling at everyone. I wake up and say: “Christ, I’m in agony this morning.” No one else needs to know that. No matter how bad the pain is, I always say good morning to Big Fella when I wake up.
Everyone is going about their business and you have this thing hanging over you. Having cancer is like living in a parallel universe. When I was diagnosed with stage four prostate cancer in 2014, Big Fella came into his own. Everyone who comes to my house gets a photo with Big Fella. My favourite bear is a 6ft-tall Charlie bear that I call Big Fella. I pass out thinking about how much money I’ve spent on them – probably £20,000 over my lifetime. I have about 60 Steiff and Charlie Bears. When I grew up, I started collecting teddy bears. That sounds very traumatic, but it wasn’t that bad. I used to cart Brumas everywhere with me – until one day his head fell off. He was named after the famous polar bear who was born into captivity at London zoo. It all started when my uncle won me a big old bear called Brumas, when I was about five.
