#Quote
1I did hear that Michael McIntyre earned £21 million in a year. I don't get how they've become so successful in such a short time. McIntyre doesn't make me laugh whereas Les Dawson and Ken Dodd do make me laugh. Jimmy Carr? I don't find it funny when somebody in a nice suit stands there and talks about basically nothing. There's nothing for kids to laugh at now, but I'm not complaining. I've done very well and I still do very well. I'm one of the highest paid people at Butlin's.
2I've made about £7 million throughout my career, but I've lost it all too. It's all down to the dyslexia. I can't read or write. Reading contracts? I didn't, I just signed them. I got into trouble many times. I signed myself away for 14 years to someone once - 25 per cent I was paying. I had no idea.
3You don't give up showbusiness, it gives you up.
4[on Extras (2005)] I read the script and thought, 'This isn't clever writing, it's pure filth'. I turned it down. I'm not desperate.
#Fact
1Children: Skye, from a previous marriage, and Kitty and Shenton with fourth wife, ex-model Sarah.
2More recently, he had sought to re-invent himself with an x-rated act on the university circuit.
3Married four times, he successfully overcame an alcohol addiction which affected him at the peak of his stardom.
4British television ventriloquist and puppeteer, popular in the 1970s and 80s, best remembered for his "Orville" the duck creation - a bizarre, green-feathered, squeaky-voiced bird. His other notable success was "Cuddles" - an aggressive, blunt-speaking monkey.
5At the height of his fame, he enjoyed his own Saturday night showcase along with frequent appearances on panel shows, eventually achieving the accolade of Britain's highest-earning ventriloquist. His television programmes tended to pigeon-hole him in the role of children's performer, however, an image he found difficult to shed when his style of entertainment eventually went out of vogue.
