Party pieces

The National Portrait Gallery is running a promotional campaign based on things you never knew about the rich, famous, great and good. See if you can pick the truth roe from the red herrings:

• Lord Horatio Nelson suffered from seasickness;
• Jonathan Ross has a fear of telephones;
• Mary, Queen of Scots was a dab hand at golf';
• Sir Winston Churchill preferred herbal ciggies;
• L S Lowry's day job was a rent collector;
• 50 Cent digs classical music;
• Rio Ferdinand almost became a ballet dancer;
• Mike Tyson is a talented impressionist;
• Andrew Flintoff played for Lancashire at chess;
• Frank Sinatra spoke fluent Swahili;
• Vanessa Perroncel appeared in The Phantom of the Opera movie;
• Tony Blair felled his father's cherry tree with an axe in his youth.

The odds are true, the evens are false (as far as I know) ...
