Jeremy Vine, born in 1965 in Epsom, Surrey, shares anecdotes from his childhood while discussing his family and creative career path. Starting his media journey at the Coventry Evening Telegraph, he later joined the BBC, taking on various roles before establishing his current on-air presence. He humorously recounts dressing as a soldier and how limited entertainment options in Cheam led him and his siblings to become creative in their play. Vine discusses the anxiety of adolescence, joking about his reputation as the 'rebel' and childhood experiences that shaped him.
I believe we all have creative careers because, growing up, we had to make our own fun. There wasn't a lot going on in Cheam in the 70s.
Aged five, I was a quiet, happy little boy who lived in an interior world. At the age of about seven I remember thinking, I now know everything there is to know about life.
