Sir Tom Jones knew he d hit the big time before a Cilla Black concert when fangirls shred his raincoat to pieces.
The 80-year-old music legend - who became famous for having female fans throw their lingerie at him on stage - has recalled supporting the late Anyone Who Had A Heart hitmaker in the late-60s, just as he had recorded what would quickly become one of his biggest hits, It s Not Unusual .
Tom was tucking into a pork pie and a pint at a pub near to the venue where he was supporting the Liverpudlian, when he heard a group of girls screaming outside, and had assumed it was for this other pop star kid . But when he stepped out for a closer inspection, he found himself surrounded by the girls, and his raincoat was ripped off and his meat pastry was gone .

Tom Jones has shared his new single Pop Star .
The Welsh icon will release new album Surrounded By Time , a mixture of carefully chosen covers and original material.
Ethan Johns returns as producer, with Tom exploring the stripped back palette that has marked his solo work for a decade now.
New song Pop Star nudges him in a different direction, contrasting Tom s early chart hits with a modern feel.
The clever imagery picks apart the brash layers of pop success, adding another dimension to his work. To me, âPop Starâ is all about the excitement I felt at the time of my first success, and I imagine that a great many bands and artists feel the same when things start to happen for them,. To get your first TV records out there, to be on TV for the first time, to get your first important gigs, and to go to the bank with your first earnings⦠what could be better than that? This track contains all that fantastic energy and brings back great memories for me.â
