I happened to turn over to BBC One tonight and caught a part of the show where an artist Jack Vettriano was painting Billy Connelly.
So I Googled him.
"Jack Vettriano grew up in the industrial seaside town of Methil, Fife. He was raised in poverty; he lived with his mother, father and older brother in a spartan minerβs cottage, sharing a bed with his brother and wearing hand-me-down clothes. From the age of 10, his father sent him out delivering papers and milk, cleaning windows and picking potatoes β any job that would earn money. His father took half his earnings.
