United States Marc Almond’s appearance on BBC Breakfast sends fans into frenzy ‘Good Lord’
Soft Cell star Marc Almond joined the BBC Breakfast team to discuss his career, his shyness and why he doesn’t understand TikTok. As he spoke with Naga Munchetty and Charlie Stayt, viewers were quick to comment on his appearance on the show, with many insisting he was “absolutely adorable”.
Commenting on meeting his heroes, Marc explained: “I’m always very star struck by people actually, I’m always very shy of meeting stars.
“People come up to me and say, ‘Oh I love that song and love what you do.’ I’m always quite shy about it.”
Charlie asked: “Like who?” as Marc teased: “Oh don’t put me on the spot Charlie.
“I can’t think but people who you meet in music. I always thought I’d never meet a lot of my heroes because I’ve always avoided a lot of heroes.

However, Sian C argued: “Comments on Marc Almond this morning divided between those who see the joy in the interview and the man and those, the most beautiful people in the country, criticising his looks #bbcbreakfast #stopjudgingpeopleonhowtheylook.”
Also in the interview, Marc addressed Soft Cell’s Tainted Love going viral on TikTok during the coronavirus lockdown.
“I didn’t know what TikTok was,” he explained. “I know that sounds awful.
“Everyone says, ‘Oh it’s gone mad on TikTok,’ and I just thought, ‘Right, that’s fantastic. What’s TikTok?’
“But I’m kind of glad. The whole lockdown period was a strange period because I wrote the while album through lockdown and recorded all my vocals for the new album through lockdown.
“So it really was a strange time that reflected on a lot of the themes of this album.”
BBC Breakfast airs on BBC One daily from 6am.
