"He had a bodyguard with him and in a commercial break he walked across and said, 'Do you want a drink?' And he said, 'Yeah, that'd be fine.' And the guy went to get a bottle of Perrier water. He then tasted it and said, 'Yeah, that's fine, Tom,' and gave it to Tom, like a taste tester," laughs the journalist. "I thought he was having a lend of me. I'd never seen that in my life. That's what real stars do."

"He was very much the boy from Wales and very easy to get on with. He was terrific, no airs and graces, he very easy to deal with."

And even though the singing legend was in his late 60s when the journalist last had him on the show, he says he was still very much a ladies' man. "That was very much part of who he was, he was always telling the stories about the women throwing their underwear at him!"
