Tom Jones: The Voice UK star told to live in US after Harold Wilson came into power

"Because I was on the road so much performing, to me it was like a holiday place."

He commented: "I’d be by the pool most of the time and I really didn’t have to do anything. It was so easy and convenient."

"To be honest the reason I stayed there was on the advice of my accountant when Harold Wilson came into power – and then, when I didn’t have to pay as much tax, I really got to like it!” Tom added.

The Welsh-born singer did eventually return to the UK at the request of his late wife Linda, who was "homesick".
