star Anita Dobson has admitted her husband, ‘s legendary guitarist is a “hoarder” who collects massive amounts of memorabilia with one character in particular being his favourite.

Revealing Brian will buy two of everything – one for himself and one for his grandchildren, she said: “He’s a big collector. He buys a packaged one and one that he can have for the grandkids.

“He’s bought quite a lot. It’s eased off a bit, as he’s gone through life. His favourite is the little green guy, he loves Yoda.”

She also admitted he collects dinosaurs and figures of prehistoric creatures “like most kids do.”

Although she confessed she attempts to clear out the vast amount of possessions accumulated their home throughout their almost a quarter of a century marriage, she said it rarely proves successful due to the fact they both have hoarding tendancies.

“I always think I’ve got to have a clear out, and a lot of my clothes go to the local hospice. But there’s so much stuff.

“The way I look at it, my husband is a hoarder and I’m a semi-hoarder,” she told at the launch of Cirque du Soleil show Corteo at London’s Royal Albert Hall.

“I try to lessen the accumulation of stuff that comes in. My husband is really clever so any little things that come in that you think are useless he will go, ‘No, no, don’t get rid of that because it might come in useful.’

“And it does,” she added. “Something he is fixing, or something he has decided to add, and there it is, he’s got it in his DIY box.”
