Rick Roy's Instagram page makes you feel like you have suddenly been given access to a party animal's inner circle. It appears as if his days are an endless stream of wining, enjoying bread and dessert. And loving it. His wardrobe seems a shout out to regulars at New York's Studio 54. Nothing is too bling for him. Not even the blonde mop of hair he currently sports; which was grey last month.

And this suddenly changed with the lockdown. "I am a party person, always out of the house! My social life had come to a grinding halt. If I had spent any more time doing nothing, and built up a reserve of pent up energy, I may have slipped back into the bad times," he says, recounting a time when he found it hard to get out of bed for a whole day.
