Joe Pasquale is my ex-sister-in-law's cousin's husband, and according to my brother who met him at a family 'do', he does indeed talk like that, although he does accentuate it when on stage/ telly.
Yep he most definately talks like that...but the voice does go a tad higher on stage lol!
BTW Joe's got a new Video out at Xmas!
