Engelbert's No.1

The Regtransfers' reporting team was privileged to catch up with pop legend, Engelbert Humperdinck at his Leicestershire home last summer.

The 'Humpster', as Engelbert Humperdinck is affectionately known, had just returned from a punishing schedule of benefit concerts in the Far East in aid of the Tsunami Appeal when our interview team arrived. He was busy preparing to jet off once again to the States for yet another season of sell-out performances, so it was a real honour for us to be afforded some of his precious time at home for this rare interview.

Our visit also coincided with the happy outcome of what had been a traumatic few days for Engelbert and his wife, Patricia, when they were finally reunited with their German Shepherd puppy, Charnie.

The family pet had escaped from the grounds of the mansion and Charnie's disappearance was the subject of nationwide press and TV coverage. Fortunately for the Humperdincks, media attention had helped to locate the hapless hound and the ecstatic couple were relieved that it hadn't been stolen or 'dognapped', as one of the tabloids had suggested!
