    Jo Whitehall talks to Sid Sloane

    On the cusp of Sid Sloane's very last week as a CBeebies presenter (which he helped to launch), I met him at the Epsom Playhouse after he performed The Sid Show.  He was a delight of course and my daughter (then 4) and I genuinely felt sad about him leaving.  He is also a radio presenter and television actor. Born to Afro-Caribbean parents, he grew up in Wimbledon and Wandsworth.  We discuss many things including Seal and how he was handling his divorce!
