BBC Breakfast star Charlie Stayt told Sir Lenny Henry "you really shouldn't say that" as they carried out a live interview. Lenny was in the studio to discuss World Book Day and his book The Boy With Wings: Attack Of The Rampaging Robot.
He said: “When I was nine or 10, my auntie took me to Dudley library and made me [join the library]. She said ‘Go in there and disappear’ so I did. And the librarians were brilliant. They showed me all these books and it meant I could immerse myself in all these imaginary worlds. Learn about creativity. Because when you read a book, you can cast it, you can design the sets, you can imagine what hair people have got. You can do everything in your imagination and that is why it is important.”
