I dunno
best I could find was this: www.independent.co.uk/life-style/the-interview-paul-whitehouse-talks-to-ben-thompson-1318342.html
The relevant bit is the end of paragraph four.
Interviewer is at pains to make clear it was tongue in cheek here. I think it's probably a well worn riff, and like all the best sarcasm it is sometimes delivered completely straight, with a stony face, so can be mis-read. Enfield made his name doing voices on Spitting Image, so I think he was Whitehouse's and Higson's way in.

might be a riff, but it was the two of them and they came back to it. i'll look again later or someone else might find.

I met Paul Whitehouse once.
He was in my local. He was shit faced after a nearby gig. I'd had a few too. I said something really lame like "I'm a big fan of your work", he said something like "that's very nice of you to say so". Seemed like a decent bloke.
