Ever musical, in 2002 he made his television debut on the show 'Stars
In Their Eyes', where he impersonated Bobby Vee performing 'The Night
Has a Thousand Eyes'.
Over the next few years he honed his craft appearing in the United
Kingdom and at cabaret venues in the Spanish resort of Benidorm. Here
he came to the attention of the makers of the TV sitcom of that name
and he has been a permanent fixture in the later episodes.
For all his continental fame he still regards himself as a proud son of
Manchester, where he was born.
