He's a legend in these parts, but now Jimmy Nail has become an unlikely social media icon after becoming the subject of a bizarre and unexpected Twitter trend.
Days after Newcastle United keeper Nick Pope found Twitter stardom, thanks to the hijacking of a Burger King poll, which sparked the interest of fans and other big brands like Greggs and Domino's, Auf Wiedersehen Pet and Spender star Jimmy found himself as one of the options in a random poll by the Fake Showbiz News accent.
The author of the poll told Twitter users they could only save three out of Jimmy, the NHS, Lilt, Vienetta, singer Terence Trent D'Arby, the City of Preston, Paw Patrol, board game Hungry Hippos and TV presenter Lorraine Kelly. Now, while of course that is a very tough call to make, for some fans there 'ain't no doubt,' that Jimmy would be in their top three, with plenty citing his early 90s number 1 as the reason for choosing him.
