I interrupted Milo whilst he was shedding, made him jump, found alot of the shed, but he still has some on his tail. Should I feed him tonight? or leave him til it is all off?

Definitely, cos otherwise you will need to leave him 48 hours after feed before you can handle him....and waiting an extra day to feed him wont make any difference to him. xxx

if its retained shed then give him a lukewarm bath - around 27'c and then let him wiggle through two damp towels

As above, retained shed can restrict blood flow and end up injuring your snake, so get it off asap. x

I got it off last night, thankfully. Made sure he was completely clear, eyecaps came off fine. I am really pleased it went okay. Thanks for the advice everyone.
