"I love Kylie. It’s because she was really nice to my daughter. She treated her and her mate with great respect. I brought our Flossie and her mate Chloe into London to meet Kylie when she was on [Radio One debate show] Round Table and she was really sweet to them. A year or two later I phoned up Pete Waterman's company and said ‘any chance of some tickets for the Kylie show at Wembley?’ (which was really cheeky because obviously I never play any of that stuff on the radio) and they said ‘how many you looking for?’ and I replied ‘16’. Instead of saying ‘f**k off’, they got me them and we hired a minibus for Flossie and her mates, drove them into town, went to the concert, Kylie was fantastic and afterwards we all went to the after-gig party. I saw her manager walking past and I said ‘Is Kylie here?’ and she pointed her out. I went up to her and said ‘You’ll not remember me, because obviously in your line of work you meet a lot of fat blokes with beards, but a couple of years ago you were really nice to my daughter – will you come and be really nice again?’ And she went up, sat down and talked to them. They were just country kids in raincoats, sitting there thinking ‘this is Kylie Minogue talking to us!’ She was really sweet to them. So I love Kylie, not because she’s got a nice arse, but because she was really nice to my daughter." John Peel, 2002
