Erika Jayne<\/a>‘s new man, John McPhee<\/a>, has finally told us all why he is called Shrek. He’s also been nicknamed the ‘Sheriff of Baghdad,’ which is a whole other story, but he claims the Shrek nickname has always just stuck, and says how “everyone has got a call sign”.<\/p>\n

He reflected on life in the army and said: “I moved this palate, I pushed it out of the way and a couple of guys went to get a palate mover or whatever, the big machine and the fork lift thing. I moved this thing out of the way and a guy was like, ‘You’re like an ogre.'”<\/p>\n

John continued: “He’s like, ‘No, you’re like f***ing Shrek.’ And then the guys came back and they’re like, ‘Hey, who moved it?’ and he’s like, ‘Shrek over here.’ Right, and then it just stuck. So, and then I figured as nicknames go, it’s not so bad.”<\/p>\n
