Professor Green.•

He was signed to The Beats, a record label run by Mike Skinner and Ted Mayhem from 2006 until 12 February 2008, when the label terminated. He rose to success upon winning the inaugural JumpOff MySpace £50,000 battle rap tournament in July 2008. Following this in 2009, Manderson worked with Lily Allen on her 2009 concert tour.

Growing up on the Northwold estate in Upper Clapton, Green’s familial situation saw him being raised by his grandmother while he traded up school attendance for just hanging on the estate, like kids do. The Read All About It Songfacts reports that he had a turbulent relationship with his father, who was rarely around during Manderson’s childhood and committed suicide in 2008. In his hit single, Read All About It, Green responds to accusations made by his stepmother that his debut album, Alive Till I’m Dead, was “cashing-in” on his death.

While the usual nefarious stories of low budget living played a part in his life, Green’s formative years were also characterised by fun: skating was big on the estate, etc. He also had an early inkling that the art of verbal sparring would somehow play a part in his life, confessing how, he always wanted to be a barrister or a lawyer. “I like debates and I’ve always been argumentative, I think that’s helped me in battles a lot.”

• "We don't have any relationship," he says of his father's widow. "And the worst thing was, I was supportive of her and her family. Even though I don't like them. I was supportive of her and her kids through [the period] when he passed away.“

• He's partnered with a clutch of brands keen to co-opt some cool from the handsome, eloquent, thoughtful 28-year-old long-ago nicknamed Green on account of the colour of his preferred narcotic wares; Professor because of smarts and intelligence formed under his own steam rather than the tutelage of any educational establishment.

Professor Green.• The reason for his anger? The way his personal life has changed. Professor Green late last

summer, was living in a flat with Candy McCulloch, a one-time Hollyoaks actress and the daughter of Echo & the Bunnymen singer Ian in Bermondsey, south London. But by the time they encountered him again earlier this year, in February, it was all change. He had moved out to Essex, but asked them not to let anyone know his precise whereabouts. He had been on the receiving end of "too much shit" in Bermondsey.

• Plus, Green had swapped Candy for, well, candy. His new girlfriend was Millie Mackintosh. She's better known (in some circles) as an heir to the Rowntree Mackintosh sweet manufacturing dynasty. She's better known still (in many more circles) as one of the "stars" of E4 series Made in Chelsea. All of a sudden, Professor Green found himself one half of a celebrity couple. It's not a mantle with which he was entirely comfortable.

• Meeting him again earlier this month, his dog remains the same – Alfie, his powerfully built but affectionate Staffordshire bull terrier – but he has also now met Mackintosh's dogs: two "wicked" pugs called Mabel and Martha. "But they live with her parents in Bath. Martha decided to snort saliva in my face. I don't think she likes me.

• Canine frostiness aside, his relationship with Millie has blossomed – as has the media circus surrounding them, not least since the beginning of the third season of Made in Chelsea. There haven't been questions in the House, but he has been discussed on-air on the reality show about posh folk and their posh lives.
