I was on stage with him in 1980 (at 16 yrs of age) at the Prince of Wales theatre in London. He 'hypnotised' me, and stuck me to a chair - but actually he just whispered in my ear, 'pretend to be stuck to the chair'.
That same weekend I saw Jimmy in his gold jim jams running in the London marathon.
I bid for one of those gold track suits too, but was the underbidder.
