Introducing Johnny Vaughan, PR firefighter

Some words of wisdom to Jonathan Ross and Russell Brand from Capital Radio DJ Johnny Vaughan: "If I'd got into as much trouble as they did, I would have said: 'We did something cruel and unfunny. Somewhere along the way I lost the plot. Fame and money has put me in this bubble. I need to take time out to find myself and it's no one else's fault.'" Johnny goes on to tell today's Daily Mail he is not a fan of the other BBC cause célèbre of the moment either, John Sergeant: "He was really rude to me once. I was doing Britain's Best Sitcom. I had nominated my favourite show and Liza Tarbuck was doing hers and John Sergeant was doing his. I was standing there laughing with Liza and John came up and said: 'Liza I really love your show'. He completely ignored me. I thought: 'John, if two people had done something I would never approach them, pick one out for flattery and ignore the other'. I though, deep down: 'You're not a very nice man'." Careful Johnny. Those Strictly Come Dancing fans are a sensitive, email-trigger-happy bunch.
