Speaking about his string of live dates in general, the Northampton-born Aussie admitted: "I almost had a nervous breakdown. You book the tour then it's like 'Well, what is the tour?' You give it a title, which gives you a sort of guide for both the audience and you about what it's gonna be."

Despite his reservations the Matilda The Musical star said it turned out to be his best tour yet.

"It's been my best tour, probably, in terms of me keeping my head about me. I think we did 33 shows. I think they were good shows, and I didn't... you know usually by the end of the tour you're hanging on by your fingernails 'cause everyone gets sick and it just crumbles. It was great."
