Tom Houghton: Class Half Empty (Gilded Balloon) Verdict: Likeably laddish

TOM HOUGHTON grew up in a posh bubble. His dad is the former head of the Armed Forces. Houghton Jr makes the most of his privileged life growing up in Northern Ireland with bodyguards, before going to boarding school (at six) and later living in the Tower of London.

Things degenerate into locker room banter, with the tale of an encounter with a transgender sex worker in Amsterdam. But Houghton clearly relishes being the butt of his own jokes, playing a crafty idiot.
