Jeremy, 58, opened up on his long-running career and he reflected on what could be the eventual day of his "professional demise" from the business.

He admitted: "We have to accept that because what you cannot do is say ‘how unfair’ - the unfairness is we’ve done it for so long.
"So, I think I’ll be cool with it actually, I think I will. I’m the oldest one now, I was the youngest one for ages, but I don’t really go for public panic.
"I’m so uncomfortable talking about my own professional demise. I can’t quite factor it in, and I do think that we all have to be aware that it’s coming for all of us."
Promoting the podcast episode, he tweeted: "Terrified (but delighted) to listen to latest @kayeadams podcast #HowToBe60 … with me … age, ahem, 58 … and Kaye’s hilarious mate Karen."
