Three days before he was forced to bow out of the competition due to injury, the actor, 66, told the Daily Express that the 10-hour time difference only added to problems.

He said: “When it's late night for me, it’s early in the morning for [wife] Gail and the kids, and vice-versa. It’s very difficult sometimes to have long conversations. We do manage to do them, but that’s sort of hard.”
