Nathan Wyburn: "Cereal all day, every day"

Checkout Confessions

Available for over a year

Artist and pop culture portraitist Nathan Wyburn joins Matt Tebbutt as he rummages through his gloriously unpretentious shopping basket. Unashamed of his "trashy" basket, Nathan takes it on the chin and explains how a newspaper headline about Simon Cowell led him to spread Marmite on 35 slices of toast, go viral, and end up on Britain's Got Talent showing the portrait to Simon himself. He talks Coco Pops and 6am paper rounds in Ebbw Vale, the 40-odd pots of caviar it took to make Victoria Beckham as Posh Spice, and the flying saucers and fake blood behind his portraits of Sam Ryder. Nathan also confesses to a teenage diet of baked beans, tuna and pasta, a lifelong soy sauce habit, an unshakeable sweet tooth, and why Marmite is the one thing he'd hide in his basket.
