He told You magazine of his family life: “My aim is to walk them down the aisle when they get married someday. So I’ve got to stick around”.
“I want to go on holiday with Adrienne and the girls and explore places I haven’t been to. And I want to be on the radio for a long time because this is my happy place.”
