It's sad when you see most of your friends in the business gone, like Tommy Cooper, Frankie Howard, Eric Morecambe, Roy Castle, Les Dawson. They were very dear to me. You no longer have the chance to bump into them at a celebrity do.

I have no plans to rock myself to sleep in my bath chair yet.

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.

It's the combination of marrying a beautiful woman three decades younger and my iPad that keeps me young.

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.

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.

Goodness, that Simon Cowell is a sensitive soul.
