"We were on Mad Monday and I have a tattoo on my back, SKD, and one of the boys spotted it and started calling me 'Skid'.
"It sort of evolved from 'Skid' to 'Skidsy' to 'Skidy' to 'Skidy undies' and all sorts. It followed on from that and stuck throughout the years.
"I don't think too many people call me Shaun anymore. It's either 'Skid' or 'Skidsy'."
He got the SKD tattoo in the middle of his back when he first moved to Australia at the age of 16.
