Bernie Clifton has worked as a comedian for decades, but says he always wanted to be a singer.

The entertainer, who is famous for his routine with his Oswald the Ostrich puppet, appeared on The Voice in 2016 after lessons with a vocal coach.

"It was a great moment" Bernie told 5 Live's Tony Livesey, "didn't do me any harm at all.'
