Commenting on meeting his heroes, Marc explained: “I’m always very star struck by people actually, I’m always very shy of meeting stars.
“People come up to me and say, ‘Oh I love that song and love what you do.’ I’m always quite shy about it.”
Charlie asked: “Like who?” as Marc teased: “Oh don’t put me on the spot Charlie.
“I can’t think but people who you meet in music. I always thought I’d never meet a lot of my heroes because I’ve always avoided a lot of heroes.
“I like to be a fan you know, someone who buys records and loves records.
“I was always very happy I didn’t meet David Bowie properly. I never really met people who I really admired and liked so I can still be a fan.”

Muriel Gray tweeted: “Marc Almond is on bbc news right now, being absolutely adorable.”
