I have known Tony Blackburn for more than half a century.
I first met him in the 1960s when he was a disc jockey on Radio Caroline. In the 1970s, we both fancied his wife, the beautiful actress Tessa Wyatt.
Just recently, we were teamed up together on my favourite BBC antiques show, Bargain Hunt – and we didn’t do badly. Tony has a keen eye for quality silver.
I enjoy his company. He makes me laugh – and not only when he sings. (He got in to in 1972.) Tony is fun and he’s funny, but I am sorry to report that our long-standing friendship is at breaking point. The cause? The Platinum Jubilee Pageant.
