‘Some of his mates have got phones already. I have told him that it’s not happening until he is at least 14. He has not taken kindly to that.’
He continued by sharing what his children think of his broadcasting career.
Tom said: ‘Well, they can recite the [LBC] phone number, which is probably indicative of how often I say it, so maybe I should stop repeating it so often.

‘To be honest with you, they don’t find it that strange, which I find strange.
‘We’ll be listening in the car and the trailer for the show will pop up and I’ll go, “Oh, it’s me.”
‘They’re like, “Yeah, so what?” They’re not bothered. You think, dad worked bloody hard to get here! They’re like, “Nah, not interested, shut up”.’
During the rare interview, Tom also revealed he stunned his family when he revealed he got a tattoo – though stopped short of saying where exactly it is.
He said: ‘It’s the final paragraph of a poem called Walking Away by Cecil Day Lewis, which is about a dad watching their child go off to their first day at school.’
