This is quite funny. Tony does not see to know what he wrote in his autobiography :D

Seems he was a right stud muffin in his younger days :o

    He's much better than I thought he was going to be.

    He seems to have had lots of ups and downs. He is quite candid about his marriage to Tessa and how upset he was when it ended.

    First time I've watched this Piers Morgan show as I can't stand him, but I think Tony is such a brilliant loveable person, and Diddy David Hamilton pops up to defend his best mate :)

    Doesn't Diddy look good for 75.

    Blimey, I thought you were joking about Diddy being 75, but he really is!

    Me and my Mum used to fancy him - I now feel ancient!

    I like Tony B very much, but had to miss him, because I just cannot watch Moron. ^_^

    Well, he did, his hair was thinning 40 years ago.

    Anyway he admitted it was a rug when he was on The Weakest Link.

    That's because he didnt write it. Poptastic was written by a ghost writer called Mark Paytress who sat down with Tony, took notes and then wrote the book.

    I never could stand Tony Blackburn. I find him creepy. All that arse licking praise at the beginning of the show made me vomit.

    I don't remember him ever being fanciable? Now Simon Dee and Kenny Everett yes!

    I agree. He was very vocal about his divorce. Very sad about how he publicly overdid the whole grief and bitterness. He is a genuinely nice bloke though. Just a pity Piers Moron was doing the interview.
