💜My BBC Interview for Donny’s 50th Year in Show Business Friday 10th Oct 2014 Season 6 – ( 11 Years ago 😂) ‘FernBrittonMeets…….’ 🎼 including a message from Fern Britton💜

Posted on September 12, 2025 by tinamckenzie.blog

It all started with facebook & a ‘friend request’ came through, I accepted & then a message came through from the BBC. They were researching for a programme for Donny’s 50th Year in the Business and he was to be interviewed by Fern Britton for BBC ‘FernBrittonMeets’ to be aired Sun 30th November 10am,

they had seen that I was ‘Fan of the Month’ back in 1976 in Osmonds’ World magazine, I had blogged it ! Click here to read all about it, Wow, a long time ago but still great memories.

They asked if we could speak together which was great as anything about Donny was fine with me ! We spoke next day, I was asked a few questions & then asked if I would want to speak on camera, of course, to be on Donny’s special programme, I’m thrilled to be involved. I was so excited, jumped for joy when told the girls at work, I was going to be interviewed & (hopefully) be on Donny’s programme ! I must admit I had visions of being in the room with Donny when Fern interviewed him, I can dream eh !! but the BBC came to me, which was still exciting !
I had a great time with the interview, very nervous & was lost for words (literally) on a few questions, also read some of my Diary from ‘1977 Fan Club Wondertour to USA’ which has great detail of each day especially meeting Donny for the first time at KTLA Studios watching ‘Donny & Marie Show’ (Day 5 Blog, when writing this blog I had to shorten the days’ experience as it goes into pages & pages ! ) Please see my other ‘Diary’ Blog pages and other Osmond experiences after reading this xx

Meeting Donny for first time up close on coach !

Loved talking about all the memories & so glad I wrote that diary as I wouldn’t remember such detail today !

Fern kindly gave me these words about her interview with Donny ” he was very funny, enjoyed the biscuits that were on offer, was totally focused and generous with his time ! A great interview “
Thanks Fern x

💜HAPPY 50th YEAR in the Business Donny💜xx

Enjoy the programme everyone, hopefully I’m included ! Read my next blog to see ! 💋👍xxx

Goodnight Everybody xx

Well, the day arrived at last, Sunday 30th November 2014 ! Such excitement as I thought ‘Am I going to be on ?’ Wow to be on a programme with Donny, felt like a dream. BUT yes it was all real ! The programme started, I was so excited but thoughts of anticipation running through me, will they, won’t they! Lots of great footage was shown from the early days of the Osmonds, visiting the UK & Heathrow incident with the wall collapsing due to so many fans waiting for their arrival ! Donny spoke about his life, his faith, it was a honest, loving interview (had a little cry !) also appearing was Marie, Roger Holt – Record Producer, David Hughes – Press Officer, Tony Prince – DJ and of course Maureen – Fan Club Manager/Secretary, all giving great stories from way back, all so interesting to listen to. Then around 29 mins+ I was on, so hard to see yourself on TV ! Do I really sound like that, hehe! I appeared a few more times, the funniest clip was about ‘7UP’ cans & how I used to collect them & put them on my bedroom window sill after drinking them of course, oh dear !! Had to do it way back then, the Osmonds drank it !!! It was a fantastic experience, would I do it again, a BIG YES as any opportunity to talk about Donny & my experiences is always the best time ever, ‘as he makes me go all funny !!‘ xx Watch Donny’s Interview with Fern and ENJOY!

Donny in London for the week Oct 6 – 12th 2014🕺🏻💜🕺🏻💜🕺🏻💜🕺🏻

Posted on September 6, 2025 by tinamckenzie.blog

Exciting times, Donny here in the UK all week, promoting his new 60th Album due out November 10th ! Donny had let us know these dates & which shows beforehand so alot of booking tickets then happened ! SRO Audiences was the company I contacted and received e-tickets for ‘Loose Women – Donny Sings’ (not sure what this one was about). Also received priority tickets for ‘Alan Titchmarsh Show’ for Wednesday 8th but eventually found out Donny was to be interviewed on Tuesday so a friend had spare tickets for that day, thank you Tina so much for them !

Donny had a very busy schedule for the whole week, starting with presenting an award at ‘Pride of Britain’ on the Monday evening, radio interviews, interview with Fern Britton to be aired November 30th BBC 10am, (see my blog about this one, I WAS INTERVIEWED ! ) ‘Loose Women’, ‘The One Show’, ‘Alan Titchmarsh Show’ & a special guest judge on ‘Strictly Come Dancing’ & I’ve not included everything ! Wow, all in ONE week Donny !!

I had booked Tuesday off for ‘Alan T’ & then I got e-tickets through for Wed’s ‘Donny Sings’ so had to ask nicely for extra day off work ! So Donny here I come ! Daughter Katherine coming with me, both days, isn’t she good x

We arrived on Tuesday at ITV STUDIOS on South Bank LONDON around 11am to queue for ‘Alan T’, not due in until after 2pm but hey, it’s for Donny !! It was a very cold day but time went quickly, we went in & had fantastic seats, 2nd row, end seats in middle aisle, what a view I had of seats where Donny would be interviewed later, no one in MY way ! We watched 2 shows of ‘Alan T’ & then it was time for interview & he was singing too, well that was a fantastic surprise x Donny sat waiting to start, he said we were too quiet ! What a view I had, dreamy few minutes for me, gorgeous or what ! Interview went well & song was fantastic ‘Could She Be Mine’ from new Album, oh dear Donny had to do it twice, as many times as he likes as far as I’m concerned ! But the time had come for him to leave, he shook my hand, mmm nice !! x😛🤭 *** thanks so much to Katherine for great photos ***😏

Next day ‘Donny Sings’ was to be recorded as an extra for ‘Loose Woman’ to be aired October 15th. Katherine and Lucy joined me to watch. There was confusion about this show as we queued from 11am to around 3.30pm, we should have gone in before 3pm, but we did go in eventually, Donny came in to the Studio, sang lovely ‘Ben’ again from new Album, dreamy singing again but Donny then said goodbye ! So one song & that was all, oh dear over 4 hours queued & saw Donny for 5 minutes ! Can’t complain as in the same room as Donny but a bit longer would have been good ! Donny appeared on ‘The One Show’ later that evening, great show Donny x

Guess who was in this car !! X

What a couple of days, I was exhausted! Friday included ‘Strictly’ rehearsals at Elstree Studios ready for Saturday’s live show. Donny appeared on ‘Strictly It Takes Two’ discussing what sort of judge he will be at the weekend. Saturdays’ show was a treat with Donny as a special judge, he knows what he’s talking about, wish he was on EVERY week ! 👍💋
Sundays’ show was great with Donny singing ‘Moon River’, dreamy Donny x

Loose Women shown Wed 15 October,

Alan Titchmarsh to be shown Mon 10 November, Donny in UK CD signing @HMVManchester this day,
HMV Oxford Street Wed 12 November.

Goodnight Everybody ! 🕺🏻🕺🏻🕺🏻🕺🏻🕺🏻

🎤Donny at HMV London 2004 🕺🏻🕺🏻🕺🏻🕺🏻🕺🏻🕺🏻🕺🏻🕺🏻🕺🏻🕺🏻🕺🏻🕺🏻🕺🏻🕺🏻🕺🏻

Posted on September 6, 2025 by tinamckenzie.blog

Donny was in London 2004, he was making an appearance at HMV Oxford St. singing & signing autographs.
Going back to evening before, I had planned for all of the family to visit London as a day out as the kids on ‘Inset Day’ (school closed for day) & it wasn’t until after the plans did I know that Donny was to be at HMV, to this day my kids still do not believe me & say I planned the trip well ! I promise this was not the case, but no regrets as I met Donny !
We arrived in London early, walked into HMV & no one about, where were the fans ? I asked someone & told they were queued around the building tucked away and they were just coming in & I should join the Section A queue which was coming in now, WOW that was lucky ! My girls joined me but Andy & James watched from afar & the big screen !
Donny performed, amazing as always, then it was time to go on the stage and meet him, Abbie had my photo with Donny from 1977 Tour with her to get signed for me, ‘is that your mom’ he asked & I had DVD ‘Live from Edinburgh Castle’ signed.

Donny was not to stop for photos so unfortunately didn’t get one of those ! A fab time, all happened in less than an hour but what a great experience🎤 Thanks Donny xx

Goodnight Everybody x

Donny Osmond 💋 ‘The Soundtrack of My Life’ UK TOUR Jan 21st-Feb 3rd 2017💋

Posted on September 3, 2025 by tinamckenzie.blog

Donny here sooon 🎶🎼🆒 xx

Today’s the DAY ! 🎵 xx

BIC BOURNEMOUTH taken from Pier 🎶

Well…. it’s the morning after a FANTASTIC Show with the ONE & ONLY DONNY 💋💜, he’s amazing, brilliant, very entertaining as so many fans know 💋 it was a packed BIC BOURNEMOUTH (on the South Coast) last night. On the morning of the Concert I drove to Bournemouth (only hour away) & was to meet my friend Hilde who I haven’t seen for 35 years from Norway to watch the show. Hilde was out shopping so I walked along the Beach & Pier as the weather had brightened up, actually I wondered if Donny had arrived yet so passed the BIC just incase ! No luck ! Walked back to hotel after I heard from Hilde, lovely seeing her, went for lunch & wondered around shops, on way back passed through the BIC for coffee & yes Donny was in the building, ‘Crazy Horses’ sounding good ! Wanted to sneak in but that was a NO NO ! Time had come to go back to hotel, change & have dinner, we then entered the foyer filled with VERY EXCITED fans ready & waiting for him, ( DONNY STILL DOES IT !), we collected our VIP goody bag, we took our seats, Row C, a fantastic view of the stage, worth paying extra for these seats ! Anytime for him eh….! ( 👎the only frustrating thing on the night were the ‘purple cards’….thought we would ALL get the chance to write on a card but only random cards were given out….VERY disappointing !!!👎 ) Then it was time, OH MY, OH MY, AMAZING, AMAZING, what can you say about Donny performing! ALL NIGHT PLEASE! 💋💜 ( did see instructions to use ‘Concert APP’ but Donny was soooo close I couldn’t take my eyes off him, sorry Donny I didn’t use it ! )

Hilde & I were VERY excited….nearly time !

These following photos show what a fantastic evening it was xxx🎶🎼🎵🆒

Lovely items in Goody Bag, wonder who will ‘doggie walk’ with me now with that hat & scarf !! he he !!

DVD recording just been announced, will be brilliant to see Concert again, & again, & again ! **Recorded Birmingham Concert, the last night of Tour**

Thank you Donny for touring the UK, made us all feel young again ! Hopefully see you again VERY soon 🎶🎼🎵xxxx (I’m writing this blog during early hours after Concert, cannot sleep, see what you do Donny !!)

ONE LAST & STRANGE THOUGHT….. my ‘Facebook Memory’ on this Exact same Date 4 years ago at same Place was this:-

NOW that’s another BLOG, maybe have a look…. 🎶🎼🎵xx

ANNOUNCEMENT MADE: Friday JULY 14th DVD release…yes ! Hopefully Donny will be over to UK to promote DVD, not sure if that will happen ?

*** Short TOUR UK again maybe planned 2018 ? start saving NOW ! 💋***✈✈✈

Goodnight everybody xx 🕺🏻💜🕺🏻💜🕺🏻💜

🎶Donny’s Autobiography ‘Life is Just What You Make It’ 2005 📚📓📖

Posted on September 1, 2025 by tinamckenzie.blog

The place is Waterstones Guildford UK, needed to get there that evening, Donny was signing his new book ‘Life is Just What You Make It‘. Arrived with friend Debbie & of course had to queue, it went up two floors and outside, everyone was passing & asked who was inside ! 🤔We queued for a while, got to the steps below floor Donny was on, about 6 people in front of us and then told Donny had to leave !😂 WHAT, how was that happening ! We hovered for ages, no sign of him coming downstairs, the shop Manager said Donny would sign some copies of his book so leave your address & will post a copy to us 😥 not quite the same is it, but oh well sure Donny didn’t want to go but maybe it was important he had to leave !🙁 Maybe saw me coming & thought best go !! Only joking !! Did catch him going into his car, very quickly !😖
So disappointed, so close yet so far but Donny doesn’t like to upset his fans so there must have been a reason, maybe ask him ONE DAY ! 💋💕💕 xx
