When asked about the iconic Leeds student pub crawl, Pine said: “I don’t remember much of it but yes I have done it,” and admitted he can’t even remember what costume he dressed up in when he took part in it at 19 years old.

However, he remembers Leeds very fondly even though he hasn’t been back to the city since 2002. "I'm yet to go back to Leeds, although I have these memories, like I lived at 49 Brudenell Road and I can see the market across the street and I know the walk to school and the great old cinema on the corner of Brudenell and Hyde Park. "I mean I just have these images of school there,” he said.
