He said: “What an early festive treat it was for me to chat to broadcasting legend Steve Wright. “I thoroughly enjoyed it and I hope everybody else does too. Feliz Navidad.”
Host Steve said: “I am Peter’s biggest fan and I’m also pleased to call him my friend so please tune in for this very special radio programme.” The special will air on Sunday at 10am as part of Radio 2’s Superstar Sunday.
Peter is currently touring the UK with his new stand-up show Better Late Than Never with more than 120 dates due to demand from fans. But he has only made a handful of TV appearances in recent years.
Peter also recently opened up about the time he met George Best – though he looked very unwell during a talk show appearance before he passed. The star said: “Now, George Best was a legend, everybody knows that. He’s even got an airport named after him. At the time he’d been back in the media due to his ongoing battle with alcoholism and had just received a controversial liver transplant.
“I was shocked that he was well enough to come to the studio, but he did. John and I finished our interview and then he told the audience that, regrettably, Eamonn Holmes had had to pull out at the last minute, but he had a replacement: ‘Ladies and gentlemen, George Best.’
“Well, the place just erupted. The whole audience immediately stood to its feet at the very mention of his name. I’ve never experienced such a reaction. As soon as he walked on set you could feel the love for him. It was palpable. He didn’t look too great as he walked down the studio steps. He actually looked nervous."
