Macca’s telly browsing is so Pointless

TUNED IN Paul McCartney SIR Paul McCartney loves tuning in to Pointless and the Antiques Roadshow.

Macca admits he loves scrolling through the channels at home and is happy to sit watching new series.

The Beatles legend says that his interest in the gogglebox helped him discover Ed Sheeran – not through music but by his appearance on Hollyoaks.

Sir Paul, 76, said: “I’ll be flicking around and there’ll be a rugby match and I’ll be like, ah I’ll watch this.

“Or it’ll be Antiques Roadshow or be Pointless.

“One of these moments was Hollyoaks and there was this red-haired busker standing playing guitar. I thought, ‘He’s good’.”

Sir Paul is set to release a new solo album, Egypt Station, later this year.
