Captain Tom added: “I’m enjoying speaking to you all. You’re all such smiling people this morning.
“It’s a pleasure to talk to you.”
Amanda told him: “Well it’s our great privilege to be talking to you.”
Speaking about the millions he’s raised, Captain Tom said: “The last time I heard, it was 17-and-a-half million rising.
“That’s a lot of money.”
When asked what his late wife would have thought about it all, Captain Tom said: “She would have been absolutely taken aback.
“She would have been sitting there thinking what she could do with all that money.”
Host Jamie Theakston asked Captain Tom how he’s feeling about being a hit with all the ladies on social media.
He replied: “All those ladies, thank you very much. If you’re all looking like Amanda, wow.”
Amanda told him: “Tom you’re an absolute inspiration to us all, thank you so much.
“When it’s all over, I’ll come and put the kettle on Tom, how about that?” as she winked.
Tom said: “Amanda, you’re always welcome. Keep on looking like you’re looking, wow.”

Captain Moore originally set out to raise £1,000 by walking 100 times around his garden in Bedfordshire.
It was to mark his 100th birthday on April 30.
He completed the last of the 25-metre laps on Thursday (April 16) but has vowed to continue raising money as long as people keep donating.
