The musician talks First Dates, eco-friendly fashion and the trip that changed everything

I visited Greenland with the WWF last September.

It’s quite difficult to go to a place like that and not have it affect your perspective. It showed me what it’s like to live life on the brink of climate change and made me even more passionate about saving the planet. I don’t want my children to grow up in a world where a place as beautiful as that doesn’t exist.

I’m vegetarian, so if I’m in London I’ll go to Mildreds in Soho.

It challenges the misconception that being a non meat eater is all about salads and quinoa. In New York, I live near The Butcher’s Daughter, a veggie place for everything from nachos to burgers. It also does healthy green cocktails with vodka, which sums up my lifestyle!

I work out at a small west London gym called Equilibrium, run by my two friends, brothers Niko and Jay.
