The 67-year-old actor and presenter says he is grateful for the different jobs he has had in his career even his car crash appearance on 'Celebrity Big Brother' brought him opportunities.
He told the Daily Mirror newspaper: "It didn’t seem like my finest moment, but if I hadn’t done it Ricky Gervais wouldn’t have called me and 'Extras' wouldn’t have come along. I think of it like that, every cloud. It was a great gift for me to be able to reinvent.
"I've no regrets because I am where I am now. And where I am in life right now I'm very happy. Whatever way it’s led me here, it’s been the right path.
“I used to watch 'Sunday Night at the London Palladium'. Jimmy Tarbuck was the host and he was from Liverpool too and I remember thinking, I want to do that.
"I didn’t think about fame. I don’t think any of us did. I just thought that’s the job I want to do – and I ended up working with Jimmy and following that path."
Next week, Les returns to screens on Channel 5 show 'Fishing Scotland’s Lochs and Rivers', alongside Fern Britton, Lord Ian Botham, Linford Christie and Rosemary Shrager, and he admitted the programme got him addicted to fishing.
He said: "There was great chemistry with the group, I’ve made friends for life. I’d never really fished before but there was one day when it poured all day and I thought, I want to keep casting. So I got a little bit addicted.”
