With Roy looking dodgy, and with evidence stacking up against him, David Neilson has now revealed that Roy’s honest nature may just get him into even more trouble.

Speaking to Entertainment Daily! and other media, when asked whether ‘truthfulness could be his [Roy’s] downfall, David admitted: “Obviously this is the issue but his truthfulness is something I’ve always tried to establish. This is because he cannot cope with grey areas or with subterfuge, his brain wouldn’t be able to cope. So it’s easier if it’s better for him to know what he feels is right and wrong.

“He can be corrected and will discuss things, but it needs to have values, it’s something about him. I think he’d just go mad otherwise. I always feel he is just hanging in there anyway. He doesn’t do things to make people like him, he is just him. He is his own worst enemy. That’s really what it is.”
