“I used to have a massive window cleaning round and I need to do something to bring the money in,” he added.

Wilding pointed to his family saying, “I have two teenage sons, as well as a 27 year-old daughter, and it would be good to set up a company for them to take over one day.”

He even joked that he might wash windows in his Darth Vader costume saying, “He could just use the force and they would all be cleaned!”

Wilding went on to explain that he’s proud of his window washing work, “I love people, love being around people, and if someone needs their windows cleaning, I could do a good job.”
