The resident added: 'He's got this attitude... about how he's improved the place and made it amazing - it was already amazing.' Noel Edmonds' Kiwi Adventure airs on ITV Friday June 20

He said: "One writer I admire enormously is Barry Gibb but Barry Gibb is brilliant because he writes great words as well as great music so he wouldn't need me."I just need somebody who writes brilliant music but gets stuck on the lyrics."Sir Tim said the show, which tours the UK until the end of May, will be performed by "four wonderful singers"."I chat in between the songs and rabbit on whatever comes into my head," he lyricist said the show would also include "big flops, strange songs and different versions" as well as the possibility of singing himself.
