Stuart comes from an Irish middle-class family.[4] He moved to Manchester with his family when he was a teenager.[5]
Stuart pursues one-night stands and didn't show any apparent interest in finding a regular partner throughout the show.
Stuart and Vince have been good friends since they were 14, and Vince seems to be the only friend he trusts. When they helped clean up the porno stash of Vince's friend, Phil, Stuart planned to give Vince a set of spare keys of his flat and hoped Vince would do the same for him if anything happened.[6]
