He said: “We’ve always been the same. We knew each other before any success.
“It’s important to find friends who know you before anything and I think we’ll always be behind the bar in some pub until we’re 70.”

“Which is a shame, I know you’re all screaming at the television, or radio I should probably say, you’re throwing things.”
He added: “It is a shame, I’m going to miss the boys, they’ve been a big massive help to me and instrumental in my career.”
Capaldi reassured fans that “everything is going to be OK” and that the situation would be explained on their Radio 1 show on Monday at 1pm.
