Nigel Owens . . .

Rugby World Cup referee Nigel Owens has said he went to a doctor and asked if he could be chemically castrated after realising he was gay.
He said the pressure of officiating the 2015 final was nothing compared to accepting his homosexuality.
The Welsh referee suffered from bulimia and attempted suicide because being gay felt "totally alien" to him.
Owens, the first openly gay man to officiate at the highest level of the game, revealed his sexuality in 2007.
Speaking on BBC Radio 4's Desert Island Discs, he said: "Refereeing that World Cup final between Australia and New Zealand in front of 85,000 people and the millions of people watching at home, scrutinising every single decision you make under a huge amount of pressure, was nothing compared to the challenge of accepting who I was."
