He’s met Muhammad Ali, Neil Armstrong and Nelson Mandela but comic Patrick Kielty admits Billy Connolly is the only person to ever make him go weak at the knees.
The Northern Irish comedian said the Big Yin is a forever connection to his dad Jack, who was murdered by Loyalist paramilitaries in 1988 when Patrick was just 16.
The 51-year-old, who is back doing stand-up for the first time in seven years, revealed he used to listen to Connolly tapes in his dad’s car and they would laugh together until they cried.
