ICONIC children’s TV presenter Timmy Mallett says he will definitely return to the north west for another vacation, after he fell in love with the area this week.
Speaking to the Ulster Herald as he prepared to return home to England, Mr Mallett said he had enjoyed a “glorious trip” around the North, visiting a host of locations including Strabane and Sion Mills.
It was 30 years ago that Timmy hit the number one spot with his cover of ‘Itsy Bitsy Teeny Weeny Yellow Polkadot Bikini’.
But he’s best known for being a massive children’s TV star in the 1980s with shows like the Wide Awake Club and Wacaday.
The 64-year-old entertainer-turned painter and now writer, says the welcome he received during his local visit was extraordinary.
