Vernon Kay has revealed how he was 'bladdered' when he was given his first big opportunity that kickstarted his entire career. The Bolton-born TV star has shared how he was scouted for a modelling agency while on a night out with some mates and thought it'd be a 'right laugh'.
Vernon had been working for his cousin in his DIY shop at the time when he was asked to do a catwalk by a scout while attending the BBC Clothes Show Live. Appearing on former Radio 1 DJ Nick Grimshaw and Michelin-starred chef Angela Hartnett’s podcast Dish, he said: "It was me and two friends and we went there basically to do a little bit of Christmas shopping, but we knew that the Clothes Show Live was full of girls.
"Three guys, night out in Birmingham the Thursday before. It was great fun and we just ended up, once we’d done a lap of it, you think ‘Do you know what? It’s not all it’s hyped up to be this, let’s just sit in the bar’."
