In today's guest, we've got Adam Davies.

Adam, how are we?

Very good, thank you.

Very good.

Ex-copa, it's act, misconduct, some daff videos, some serious ones. Police were saying you were involved in crime, giving criminals the head up, heads up, like mad stuff. The perfect copper for a criminal, if I'm honest. But you're here to kind of expose your truth because the media, we know what the media does that can portray people as really bad individuals, but you're here to tell your side of the tale, which is important, first and foremost, how are you? Yeah, very good, thank you. Thank you having me. Before we get into all the madness, so I always like to go back to the start with my guests, get more of a bit of understanding about you where you grew up how it all began yeah so I grew up in a place called farmer in Hampshire quite a nice nicer share of me depends on what's

you're about's in the place you're from but I suppose it's where you are from anywhere isn't

it family wise mum dad brother- sister, quite a traditional family.

Never really had any sort of issues of upbringing.

I'd be lying if I said I did.

You know, I was quite good.

School work was good. I used to muck about a bit at school, but I'd always do my work, so it was never really, like I was never rude teachers or anything like that. It was just, you know, just being a kid really, just, you know, doing that. doing that and so my mum was a swimming teacher my dad was the police officer so i suppose it was

always really destined to do so i suppose it was always really destined that that was where I was going to end up. And yeah, just very sporty kid. The gymnastics, you know, competed at quite a high level internationally. Rugby, I mean, golf, football, anything you anything you can think of. I put myself to it and I love sports and that was the reason why, you know, I just found myself busy all the time when that's a kid growing up. So gymnastics, bro, because obviously you've got the bowed and the neck and their arms are massive. Yeah, gymnastics was something that I got into from a very early age. My mum took me to one of these preschool classes, if you like.

You know, I think I was three years old. And the coach at the time, she said to me, she said, you keep him in gymnastics, he's going to be very good. And, you know, she wasn't wrong because I had quite a successful career. I was never at the very top of the game. You know, I was always in and around it. You know, I went to British championships and stuff like that. And I'd always be

in and around the medals, but I wouldn't always meddle until I reached, I think I was about, was that about 15. I think got my first British medal, British title and Volt. And just from that point onwards, you know, just just carried on when I was 15, I went to the European championships for Great Britain and that was the only time I competed for Great

Britain but, you know, at least I can say I did it. So how do you get the neck so strong? It's just, it's just the way the body works, isn't it? You know, a lot of gymnastics is a lot of, you know, body strength, if anything. and I think, to be honest, I think my next strength is probably more from the bodybuilding

and the stuff like that that I've done post-jurastics career, really. How hard is the gymnastics? Because it's a very short-lived career. It's like early 20s, people retire, no? Yeah, I retired at 17. But for me, it was always, I wanted to get to a point where I was happy that I was satisfied that I could retire. And after that

that competition that I went to to the European Championships, I thought, you know what, now's a time. I don't, I want to leave on a high. I don't want to leave on a low. So I felt like that's why I decided that the best time to leave would be after I'd had that massive high. I didn't, I didn't think I'd ever get that high again. It's a bit like a drug, you know. I just didn't think I

was going to ever get that kind of adrenaline rush ever again. So the British have seemed to
