The veteran star, 66, has been helping out The Swan in Enford, Wiltshire, as part of a community initiative to keep the doors of the pub open. He told ITV’s Good Morning Britain: “I’m part of a big rota.

“Our pub closed down a few months ago, and it’s had a chequered existence for the last 20 years, like many pubs, and it’s in a rural village, and I think the people in the village realised that without it there’s no possibility of communication, and so the villagers wanted to keep the pub going.
