They also recalled that on another occasion during a tour on the Channel island, Ian punched Daniels after a few drinks in a bar while defending their reputation.
Ian said: "I was a bit punchy I suppose, when I was in my thirties. Yes (I punched Paul Daniels), but that's not really a bad thing is it?
"I think he must have said something to contradict something I was saying. I'd likely had a drink and was talking rubbish and I just went bang – he went off the chair and the whole bar all applauded and said 'it's time somebody did that'.”
