Beatles legend Paul McCartney is hooked on TV shopping channels and admits he would buy things Eight Days A Week if he could. (Mirror.co.uk)
Sir Paul, worth £820million, flicks the telly on after hours in the studio.
Before he knows it, he is gripped by “exciting” items like the German stain remover Didi Seven – only to be reined in by bemused wife Nancy , 60.
Paul, 77, says: “I love watching TV. Not series. I prefer just easy television and Nancy makes fun of me for it.
“Nancy calls it the ‘Paul will watch anything department.’ She’s right. In America, I watch The Shopping Channel. For me, it’s kind of exciting. I get hooked. I have to resist buying everything.
“There’s some stuff called Didi Seven. It cleans everything. I say ‘I need a can!’ But Nancy will say ‘Are you sure?’”
The coronavirus pan-demic means Sir Paul’s upcoming world tour is at risk.
He was also due to have headlined Glastonbury, which has already been axed. It means watching yet more TV – which at least gets him through the long and winding days.
He adds: “It’s relaxing. It’s nice to escape and sometimes a bit of easy TV is great. You don’t have to think about anything. I get home and just flop, turn the TV on, flick around. I love Gogglebox and comedy shows like Would I Lie To You?”
Sir Paul, who owns a 1,500-acre home in East Sussex, says his love of animals also helps him chill out.
He says: “I have a horse called Moonstar, who is great. I’ve ridden him for years so we know each other very well. It’s always a great relaxation to go out into the fields and the woods.
“It’s a big farm with some fabulous trails, a lot of which I made.
