The '80s singer was added to the line-up this week alongside the likes of Arctic Monkeys Guns N' Roses and Elton John.

Wanting to find know how he’s feeling about being included to play for one of the biggest festivals in the UK, the BBC Breakfast hosts spoke to Rick live from his home in South London.

Although when the 57-year-old appeared on screen, it looked as though he’d not long been out of bed as he was still wearing his night clothes with his hair ruffled up.

Informing the hosts that he'll be at Glastonbury early on Saturday morning, he joked: “I’m still in my pyjamas now, I might do it in my pyjamas, to be honest.”

Sally asked: I was going to ask you, Rick, are they actually your pyjamas? They’re very smart.”

Confirming they were in fact his nightwear, he put his arms to the side and shimmied to show them off to Jon and Sally.

She replied: “I wish we could do the show in our pyjamas, I really do.”

After he had confessed to not getting changed from what he’d worn to bed the previous night, viewers watching the show were left in hysterics.
