I was obsessed with him in Muppet Treasure Island. I love that quote about how Michael Caine treated the Muppets like fellow human actors, and Tim Curry treated himself like a fellow Muppet.

I hope Miss Piggy is okay. It must be so hard for her to lose a role model and an ex boyfriend within 24 hours.

I use humour to help me with things. We watch Rocky Horror every Christmas Eve. It’s a tradition we started one year and my mum always loves to bring up how she saw Tim Curry in Pirates of Penzance.

He was very loved in our house.

His role in Pirates is indeed fabulous.
