The camaraderie. I’m still in touch with Janet Ellis, Peter Duncan and Yvette Fielding. And the late Caron Keating was such a close friend. There’s not a day goes by when I don’t think about her – she was a great presenter and friend and she was taken too soon [she died of cancer, aged 41]. I miss her. I’d love to sit down with her and laugh and ta...
I had to go in and see them again, just to prove I can still walk! I had to have a little sing and do a couple of scenes and show that I can still do it. And I wanted to approach it differently. I’m older and there are many ways to play a character. On the face of it, the Wizard is a lovely, warm, charming guy, who everybody thinks is wonderful. Bu...
The Apollo a big theatre – it holds 2,000 people, it’s the West End and the show has such a fantastic reputation. You’ve been given this responsibility, this second chance, so there’s a lot of pressure – you feel like you’ve got to prove yourself. But I’m glad I feel nervous and excited after all this time. If I didn’t, there’d be no point doing it...
I’d done 15 months and it felt long enough. It impacts your life and also you have to challenge yourself, this business is about variety and I’ve never stayed in a job just because of the money. It’s important to leave when you’re enjoying it.
I was a regular performer on Junior Showtime. I’ve no idea where it came from. My mum used to look at me and think, ‘Have I really produced this?’ She was a maternity nurse, so not at all showbiz and I was this child who was jumping about, singing songs and miming to Cilla Black and Dusty Springfield. One of her friends knew somebody at Yorkshire T...
I was born in 1961 so I decided to have a 1960s-themed party. Some of the outfits were wonderful, people really went to town. My former Blue Peter colleagues were all there: Yvette Fielding came as a Beatle, Peter Duncan came in a flowery shirt and Janet Ellis was a flower child. I wore flowing robes and went very Hare Krishna!
I’ve never done anything else and I can’t think I could do anything else. Sometimes I wonder if I should take it easy but then a job offer comes and I’m still excited by it.
By the sea in Eastbourne on the south coast. I moved there seven years ago. I love the fresh air, the pubs and the walks – there’s something about being by the sea that is really relaxing. I think as you get older the peace and quiet appeals more.
Tennis is my great passion. I won an Equity tournament one year and I’ve got to the finals of quite a few events. I’m pretty handy but I’m self-taught, so a really good, coached player will beat me very easily. I’ve commentated a bit and every year I’m the centre court presenter for a big women’s tournament in Birmingham.
I always talk about Emmerdale, because I grew up watching it and whenever I see it, I always think – I’d love to be in that. I did a few episodes of Hollyoaks and enjoyed it, but Emmerdale is me – I’m Yorkshire. Get tickets to see Mark in Wicked.

“They strapped me to a windmill once,” Mark Curry is explaining from his Eastbourne home. Rather than recounting Bond villain-style interrogation techniques, the television presenter and actor is describing his tenure on children’s magazine show Blue Peter – and it sounds pretty high-octane.
