Shame you had to perpetrate this bit of media mischief, because,
as the
dots at the end of the quote indicate, Fishy was cut off. He
continued, "Having said that, it is going to get very windy". It
doesn't seem to have done him an awful lot of harm, but that bit of
broadcasting history, at least, is bunk.

As far as I'm aware, Fish gave the 6.30 forecast where the infamous "don't
worry" comment came from. At 9.30 in the evening Bill Giles said that it
would be "breezy in the channel", so if anything Giles is more at fault !
