Dozens of Joan’s fans responded to the funny post, with many encouraging her to make the date happen.
One user urged: “I think you’d both have a brilliant time. He’s a true hero in every sense of the word and having a cocktail with Sir Tom would be wonderful.”
And another user shared: “Joan you need to meet up with this incredible man and have a drink or dinner. I think Tom would love it and Percy should come too. It would be a such a wonderful gift.”
Captain Tom’s Life Stories went down a treat with viewers, with many reportedly left in tears by his remarkable life journey.
The military veteran raised over £32 million for the NHS via his charity walk during lockdown.
He has since received a knighthood from the Queen, written a children’s book, an autobiography and even earned a number one charity single.
In the emotional sit down with Piers, he said he asked not to be resuscitated after a nasty fall last year.
He also shared his fears of ending up in a care home.
He explained: “I have always felt that if somebody is gravely ill and near to death to bring them back for them to die a very unpleasant death, why do that? If you have gone, you have gone.
“I did not want to finish up in an old people’s home without any facility of my own, having to be fed in every way. I would hate ever to be like that.”
