The singer of Is This The Way To Amarillo is among a select group of famous Tonys through showbiz history. Here are his picks of the best.

Tony Bennett or Tony Orlando? Definitely Tony Bennett. Where is Tony Orlando now? Tony Bennett has been singing since the 1940s.

Tony Curtis or Tony Soprano? Tony Curtis. I used to have a Tony Curtis DA haircut when I was a teenager.

Tony Blair or Tony Benn? (laughs) I don’t like either but I would pick Tony benn. I don’t agree with his politics but at least he has stick to them all his life. I think Tony Blair is a snake.

Tony Currie or Tony Woodcock? You’ve picked a Sheffield United legend there with Currie but I used to live close to Sheffield Wednesday. When I had a hit record I moved out of the city but I support them both. I’ll sit on the fence with that one so I don’t offend anybody.

Tony Hancock or Tony Booth? Definitely Tony Hancock. I’m a huge fan. I have got his biography sitting in my suitcase.

Tony Gubba or Tony Robinson? I’ve got to go with Tony Robinson. He digs up old relics and he might dig me up one day.

Toni Braxton or Toni Basil? For Un-Break My Heart it has got to be Toni Braxton.

Tony Hart or Tony the Tiger? Tony Hart reminds me of watching TV with the kids. He used to make things happen.

Anthony Hopkins or Antonio Banderas? Anthony Hopkins. I cannot believe you haven’t mentioned Tony Hadley. He’s a mate of mine and married to a girl who used to live around the corner from me. I always take him to my local when he visits.

Tony Christie brings his 50 anniversary tour to Chatham’s Central Theatre on Sunday, May 22 and Tunbridge Wells’ Assembly Hall Theatre on Sunday, June 26.
