But last year my sister-in-law, Claire, said: "We've got a new game for you, Fats." So they put on an Xbox Olympics game that was all about athletics, and challenged me to throw the javelin. Everyone was laughing and I laughed too, but had a go. They know how competitive I am and it turned out they had all been practising for a week but not told me about it. So I had to stay up until 2am to make sure that I beat them. The next day I was very tired. They were all in on the joke, which was a bit naughty of them. The funniest thing was, I actually broke the world record in the end. It's very different doing it on the game: you've got to know the aerodynamics and the angle to hit the button. It took a few goes, but I got there in the end. My sister-in-law's mum's sister was very good actually. She threw 96 metres, but I got 103. I nailed it in the last few throws.
Last night, stars including former Welsh international footballer John Hartson and his wife Sarah, Swans manager Brendan Rodgers and his wife Susan, along with Swansea TV presenter and former Miss Great Britain Liz Fuller, all graced the red carpet at the Brangwyn Hall to celebrate the official launch of the £3 million cancer centre, within the grounds of the city's Singleton Hospital.
John, 36, who will be opening the state-of-the-art Maggie's South West Wales centre today, said: "I am absolutely honoured and privileged to be asked to open the Maggie's centre.
"I am going to be very proud standing there today."
He will also be signing copies of his book, Please Don't Go, which was shortlisted for Book of the Year in the National Book Awards, in the new cosmic whirlpool designed centre, between 1pm and 2pm.
Cash from sales of the book, which tells the story of the ex-Celtic star and cancer survivor's battle back to health, will go towards the John Hartson Foundation and Maggie's.
Guests last night also included Hollywood actor Michael Sheen's parents Meyrick and Irene Sheen, and Catherine Zeta Jones's mum Pat and dad Dai Jones.
Mikio Kurokawa, son of the late Japanese architect Kisho Kurokawa, who designed the Swansea Maggie's centre, and his daughter Kako Matsuura, flew in for the night.
And Charles Jencks, husband of breast cancer sufferer Maggie Keswick Jencks, who came up with the blueprint for the centres, also took part in the special celebration, along with Swansea City star Garry Monk.
Miss GB Amy Carrier and Miss British Empire Charlotte Campbell also took their seats at the Swansea venue, which was transformed with a spectacular New York Central Park, Great Britain celebs theme.
There were performances from leading violinist Craig Owen, along with from Shaheen Jafargholi, who appeared on ITV's Britain's Got Talent, and Tom Richards, who reached the judges' houses stage of X Factor, last year, and soprano Amy Daniels.
A choir of up to 70 pupils from Mark Jermin's Stage School, also performed an eclectic mix of finale songs, including Karl Jenkins's Amadeus — which was mixed with an eight minute medley of different songs.
Blanche Sainsbury, managing director of South West Wales Media, which runs the Evening Post, previously said: "The Evening Post is really pleased to host this evening and introduce the city to the new Maggie's centre."
