Sad news indeed, RIP Paul O Grady, we first met at North Pier Blackpool after he followed the Danny La Rue show in, next working together filming the Generation Game & then again when we worked the cast of Coronation Street Shows, among others. A supporter of Variety #PaulOGrady

I am humbled to have received this Silver award it means a lot thank you @WeareStaffs @EnjoyStaffs @heathersgal (Not sure how to properly react to an award, the last time I was awarded anything was a book voucher at school!)

#RIPQueenElizabeth II the world has lost a wonderful lady. Both Allyson & I count ourselves fortunate to have met & chatted with The Queen in Buckingham Palace, Her Majesty was charming, sharp & great at putting people at ease, something we will never forget. End of an era.
