Philip Olivier

PA
Philip Olivier, 28, was born in Liverpool.
He rose to fame in Channel 4 soap Brookside. He also starred in gangster flick The Crew. Philip has a girlfriend, Louise, 28, and divides his time between Liverpool and Fulham.
WHAT DO YOU DRIVE?
A Black Range Rover Sport.
WHAT WAS YOUR FIRST CAR?
It was a white BMW 3 series coupe, and now white cars are back in.
WHAT WAS YOUR BEST/WORST CAR?
My best is the car I drive now, it's like a mobile office, where I do most of my work on the M6.
The worst was Lexus GS300 that was falling to bits - it had leprosy.
WHAT IS YOUR DREAM CAR?
An Aston Martin.
DO YOU CONSIDER YOURSELF TO BE A GOOD DRIVER?
I used to be a boy racer and clocked up points left right and centre. I have chilled out a bit now. However I have never had an accident to date (I will probably wrap myself around a lamp post now!).
WHAT DO YOU ALWAYS KEEP IN YOUR GLOVEBOX?
Gloves. Only joking, I always keep a pack of baby wipes.
WHAT DRIVES YOU MAD BEHIND THE WHEEL?
People who cut you up without a cheeky hand raised. If you raise your hand to apologise it eases so much stress.
WHAT'S THE BEST MUSIC TO DRIVE TO?
Vocal classics like Stevie Wonder to sing along to. Never mind singing in the shower.
HAVE YOU EVER HAD A CRASH?
No.
WHO WOULD BE YOUR PERFECT PASSENGER?
On that long journey back and forth from London, a cab driver would be the best. Cabbies can't half speak and would keep you awake no problem.
WHAT'S THE CRAZIEST THING YOU'VE EVER DONE IN A CAR?
I would love to tell you, but my solicitor advised me not to!
WHO CLEANS YOUR CAR AND HOW OFTEN?
Phil from 'Premier Valeting'- once a week. If you're reading this Phil, free washes for a month.
