TONY BLACKBURN celebrates 50 years in broadcasting this year so he should have plenty to talk about on Piers Morgan’s Life Stories.
No doubt he will mention being the first voice heard on Radio 1 back in 1967, and, more recently in 2004, why he was banned from the airwaves for playing two of Cliff Richard’s records back to back.
He also reveals one of his most successful chat-up lines and what he got up to in Frank Sinatra’s flat with a girlfriend.
On a more serious note, Tony discusses the period during which he became addicted to Valium following the breakdown of his marriage to actress Tessa Wyatt, and how he once saved fellow DJ Kenny Everett’s life.
