Eric Morecambe’sPranks on Showbiz PalsShowbiz pals were targets for Eric Morecambe’simpish fun, which is one of the many newrevelations in local author Tony Flood's celebritybook, second edition, 'My Life With The Stars –Sizzling Secrets Spilled!'The mischievous Morecambe had a wicked sense ofhumour, both on and off stage, and many of hisshowbiz friends were on the receiving end,particularly Des O’Connor and the late Roy Castle.Former Sky Television executive and Fleet Streetjournalist Tony Flood, who lives in Eastbourne, says:“When I met Des he revealed Eric’s biggest put down.He recalled: “I once told Eric I had done a one-manshow and he replied ‘Let’s hope two turn up nexttime'.”Fiona Castle, widow of popular entertainer Roy Castle,also tells how one of Eric’s pranks was at her expense,after appearing with Morecambe & Wise at theCoventry Hippodrome, where she was a dancer inthe chorus.She let slip to Eric that she would love to meet themulti-talented Roy, so some time later Eric invitedher to a TV show to introduce her to him.But he embarrassed her by saying: “Roy, this is Fiona,and she’s in love with you.”She then learned that Eric had been even moreoutrageous when he had set up the meeting. Hehad told Roy: “I’ve got this sad little case coming tosee you. She has braces and a pigtail – try to be niceto her.” But Fiona and Roy were married a year later!'My Life With the Stars: Sizzling Secrets Spilled!' hasreceived glowing endorsements from singer AnitaHarris, comedians Al Murray and Tim Vine, andformer world boxing champion Frank Bruno.Anita Harris says: “Tony Flood has come up withvirtually an A to Z of so many showbiz and sportsstars, from Peter Andre and George Best to DavidWalliams – and tells great stories about them! Fansyoung and old should love it.”The first edition of Tony's book was so successfulthat he has brought out nine extra chapters andupdated the rest of the book with many newrevelations.He spills the beans on the musical legend who had a4penchant for teenage girls in white panties, the femalesinger whose cure for settling stage nerves wasrevealed when the curtain rose on her being spankedby members of the band, and the world-famous starwho suffered abuse and a mental breakdown. Thereare also laughs galore in stories about a host offunny men, from Bruce Forsyth to Joe Pasquale.There’s tragedy, too, as Flood recounts his exclusiveinterview with devastated Liverpool goalkeeper BruceGrobbelaar immediately after the Hillsboroughdisaster, and Bobby Charlton’s emotional memoriesof how Manchester United rose from the ashes ofthe Munich air crash.More details about this book and Tony's spicy crimethriller Triple Tease, endorsed by best selling authorsPeter James and Tamara McKinley, are available onwww.celebritiesconfessions.com, with reduced pricesigned copies from just £3.99 during a specialpromotion.Tony's wife Heather is also an author, and detailsTo advertise call 01684 833715 or email: info@grapevinepublications.co.uk
