Over the last 10, 15, maybe 20 years, each Christmas I go over to your country to do a pantomime.MOST READ TV AND SHOWBIZPINKY AND PERKYCarol Vorderman shows off her sensational curves in snakeskin jeansCHECK OUT SOPHIESam Gowland's anger as troll tells Chloe Ferry to kill herself after Mike tragedy
Adding: "And more recently I went over twice to do Priscilla, Queen of the Desert in the West End – once was a six-month stint, and another a run of four months in that same show. "So if you average my time over the last 10 or 15 years, I probably work 40 weeks a year. From now on, on a new contract, I'll probably work 35, 36 weeks of the year."
Concluding, he said: "it's just taking a tiny bit more time out", before reassuring fans that he "ain't going nowhere".
