"I like staying busy, I do, and also when I'm not busy I like thinking about doing stuff."
He also revealed that he is going on the road as he tours the Butlin's chain of seaside resorts in the UK.
The TV personality also puts his success down to his previous experience at the establishment when he was just starting out in his entertainment career.
"Touring around, we've got a brand new stage tour this year, returning to Butlins. I like to keep busy I don't like not being busy.
"I was a red coat at Butlins, I started when I turned 18, mallyinly to Minehead so I was a redcoat at Minehead for two years and I absolutely adored it.
"I was only talking to Bradley Walsh about this the other day when you look at the presenters and performers that were red coats or blue coats they've all seemed to do well, even back to Des O'Connor, Jimmy Tarbuck, Bradley Walsh, Shane Ritchie, they've all stood the test of time. It cant be a fluke."
