Coronation Street's Nigel Pivaro heaped praise on Liverpool as his new stage show arrived in the city last night.
The 63-year-old is renowned for his role as Terry Duckworth on the Cobbles. He stepped away from acting to pursue a career as a journalist but has been lured back to the stage to star in The Commitments, which is on at the Liverpool Empire until April 22.
The hit musical is based on Roddy Doyle's bestselling novel and revolves around working-class Jimmy’s bid to transform a bunch of amateur musicians into Dublin’s finest-ever soul band. Nigel plays Da in the acclaimed show and admitted there was some "healthy nerves" ahead of his first theatre role in almost 20 years.
