Lorraine nodded: “Prickly to say the least. He was on and he actually stormed out during the break, which was a shame because nobody got to see him.
“He was sitting there talking about some movie he was doing…and he’d just had a triple heart bypass.
“I happened to say, you know during the break, Gosh how are you doing? Are you alright? Have you recovered? Are you still having to take medication?”
