Nigel's guest today is Steve Grant.
Steve is one of the most famous faces (and bodies) from the 80s UK pop scene. He was, and still continues to be, a member of Tight Fit whose pop tunes like The Lion Sleeps Tonight and Fantasy Island shot up the charts in the early 1980s. Steve’s appearance in a loincloth and not much else on Top Of The Pops when The Lion Sleeps Tonight hit number one, was a homoerotic dream and gave me, and doubtless countless other young queer boys their first sexual awakening. But Steve had to hide his own queerness to the world and later deal with the band imploding, his partner dying and a devastating HIV diagnosis.

It was the moment her life changed.
