The 57-year-old says that winning a marching parade trophy as a schoolboy is what cemented his love for performance.
‘It’s when I realised this was where I always wanted to be,’ he tells this week’s issue of Stellar Magazine. ‘The centre of attention, with everyone looking at me.’
Larry however says the secret to his success is keeping his ego in check.

‘I’ve never taken it too seriously. I’ve had this outrageously lucky run’ he says of his television career.
‘Sometimes I’ve gone from one network to the other just a day after my contract has finished and that’s really unusual.
The only thing I can really put that down to is I’ve tried not to be a diva or a nasty person.’
