The question: "the book is dedicated to your wife, do you still like her after all these years?" could be considered touch and go, if say, it'd been posited by a rubbed-up-the-wrong-way Paxo. But she pulled it off. Vanessa Feltz can ask these sorts of questions you see and Peter Sissons had no reservations in answering them. In case you're wondering, even after 46 years of marriage, yes he does! Peter even offered up a few secrets of enduring love on the Vanessa Show yesterday.

To delve deeper into the life of Peter Sissons; how it feels to be shot, what it was like growing up with Sir Paul McCartney and the travails of keeping your opinions to yourself in realtime newscasting, watch the Vanessa Show on demand here. Or you could of course buy the book When One Door Closes, available now in hardback, priced £17.99.
