BILLY CONNOLLY gets his wife to stick a loo roll in the fridge before he has a curry.

In her second book about the comic legend, missus Pamela Stephenson reveals: "Billy charges off and orders onion bhajis, vegetable samosas and chicken bhuna with a Peshwari naan.

"Then, in anticipation of fiery bum syndrome, he'll sometimes phone home to ask me to put the toilet paper in the fridge."

Pamela also tells how Billy went on a "mad" fitness drive before his 60th birthday, and dyed his beard purple because he still loves to shock.

The first book Pam wrote about Billy sold more than a million copies in hardback alone.

Now she has revealed more of her husband's habits in Bravemouth Living With Billy Connolly. The title is a nickname for Billy coined by famous friend and neighbour Eric Idle.

Pam tells of Billy's "mission of misinformed madness" to slim before hitting 60.
She says: "He first bought the Abserciser, a contraption for minimising back pain during situps that is still in its wrapping.

"Then he had an apparatus of strange little wires and electrodes attached to his stomach, administering electric shocks that were supposed to exercise his tummy muscles. When his spare tyre refused to deflate, he pouted Bloody rip -offs'."

Former comic Pamela, now a psychotherapist, added: "Even my six-year training failed to help me immediately detect that Billy's beard colouring was linked to his desire to increase his f *** you' quotient.

"I'm always afraid Billy will swear. Swearing is innate for him he has been happily cursing away since he was three."

Bravemouth Living With Billy Connolly, is out next month and costs pounds 16.99.
