It's important for a dancer to wear very tight underpants. I used to feel a bit exposed if I wasn't being held up in the right place.

My father earned every penny he had, and I would have loved to have bought him a Rolls-Royce because his whole life was cars. Sadly, he didn't live to see the day when I could have done that for him, which still hurts.

Ambition can take the place of everything - even sex.

Did you write the words, or the lyrics?

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 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.

In my mind, everything is too sanitised on television - what is wrong with things going wrong?
