While A Reid said: "What a great voice! You must be a very proud dad." And Dan Dickinson said: "Lot of talent in the Charles gene pool, good for you. Be very proud."

Craig has three children, two daughters, Anna-Jo and Nellie-Rose and a son, Jack Tyson. Craig's son Jack Tyson is also a musician and played the Rabbit Hole this year.

He said: "Anybody who knows me well will know that the last 12 years, every time there had been a Glastonbury festival, I've played at the Rabbit Hole. This year is no different." His dad also shared a video from inside the Rabbit Hole on Twitter.

Craig also performed at Worthy Farm this year with his signature Funk and Soul show. The actor and presenter has now solidified himself as a funk and soul icon, after joining BBC 6 Music to host a show.

He has since took the show on the road and will perform sets across the country, including Love Box, Park Life, Festival no 6, Wychwood Festival, Common People, Mostly Jazz funk and soul festival to name but a few. In 2016, he played to over 10,000 people at the world-famous Arcadia and Shangri-La stage in Glastonbury.
