Little did I know that there's nothing more competitive in the world than a professional ballroom dancer. They are as competitive as Olympic athletes.

Just doing any kind of work - even an interview for breakfast television - makes me feel happy.

It's frightening, the way life speeds up. When you're at school, time can't go fast enough.

I met my darling wife Wilnelia in 1980 when we were on the judging panel for the Miss World contest at the Royal Albert Hall. With two ex-wives and five daughters, I thought I wouldn't be involved with anyone for a long time - if ever. Winnie was so gorgeous, my jaw dropped - and it's a big jaw to drop.

If I go out one night, I must stay in the next. It's the same with my golf. If I play one day, I don't play the next. I try to pace myself.

If I couldn't move, I don't know what I would do. That would be terrifying for me; I don't know how I'd cope with that.

Although I'm predominantly known for game-shows, I do prefer to be known as a performer.
