Please don’t do this - it’s hard enough trying to pitch the final word of “My eyes adored you” without 30 people trying to get in before me or the music and setting me up on the wrong note 🤦🏽♂️ If you were suppose to be singing along with me you’d be on stage!
Making friends as an adult is hard, any tips ? I hardly know anyone here in London and I have no shame in saying I’m getting very lonely. Is there a working actors coffee morning (in the afternoon) anywhere 🤷🏽♂️
🧵Stood next to a lady on the train who said that she really enjoyed the show tonight. I thanked her and made small talk as I always do. I asked if she had seen the show before… she said she hadn’t but she had seen the film…….
I couldn’t afford to go to Drama School - I worked my ass off to get to the West End - untrained. Struggling to be eligible for a Spotlight membership and they want to charge a premium “tiered”membership?? 🧵
Whoever released the news of
@Bonnie_clydeLDN
before the embargo, should have a serious word with themselves ! That’s bang out of order- people work hard to create these press releases. You will not be trusted with press again ! X
The Video where it all began! Mid way through 2021 I had no Job, No agent and was feeling so deflated! Little did I know that 2 months later I would have representation and an audition for Jersey Boys. 3 months later I became Frankie Valli - DON’T GIVE UP 💙
That fact that people think we were miming on
@thismorning
makes me even happier knowing it was a good show! I can 100% promise that I was singing live ! Trust me if I was lip syncing I wouldn’t have been as nervous 😬 😂😂! 🎙 🎤
LIVE TV DEBUTE ✅
I moved to Sri Lanka when I was 10 years old, whilst we were out there Aleeaha (my youngest sister) was born. I moved back to England when she was 3. I’ve seen her four times since 2010. Tonight she’s in with my other sister watching me in the West End ❤️
Today I got to meet the two amazing people that run the
@WestEndCovers
account ! They are such lovely people and I could not praise them enough for all their hard work! I was actually a little bit starstruck 🤩
.. she said she was so happy that she saw me and immediately recognised me once i got on the train. Just before she I got off at London Bridge she said…. “How many people were in the reindeer” 😂… I panicked and said “3” I wished her well and left.
Unwritten train Rule - if I’ve had to stand for the entire journey - you better believe I’m getting off the train first. No point getting nearer the doors as soon as the train pulls up. You have a nice comfy journey on your seat. I ain’t 😂😂
I wouldn’t like to say I’m petty, but I’ve just been into a shop and the sassy store assistant refused to check if they had a certain shirt in a small - So I ordered it on click and collect went customer services and Guess who was on customer services….
After Two and a half years - it’s finally time to say goodbye to Jersey. I am so thrilled to have been apart of this show. Final performance - 4th January 2024 ❤️💙
Seasons Change.
After a hugely successful residency at the

You only have 12 weeks left to enjoy this critically acclaimed 'Too Good to be True' (Telegraph) production.
Just got a message from a company asking if I would like to audition for them..a casting director I auditioned in front of over a year ago passed my details to them. Goes to show if you make and impression in an audition, you’ll be remembered! Thank you

Jersey Boys officially opened on Broadway 19 years ago today. 19 years on the show continues in the West End. Thank you Jersey for Everything ❤️💙

One day something amazing is going to happen to me, I honestly have believed it since I was kid. And one day in the future I hope I get to retweet this and say - “see…..I told you”
Every time I speak to my 85 year old Nan I swear to god she thinks she’s my agent... I don’t know how many times I need to tell her that the industry doesn’t work the way she thinks it does. I’ve had to stop her twice from writing letters to producers 😂😂
.. She said the costumes were amazing. The songs were wonderful… “though there were a few that weren’t in the movie” that she was unfamiliar with but nether the less…….
I am moving into my first flat on my own soon and I can’t wait to find out what my smell is !! You know what I mean? Every household has its distinct smell. I hope mine is good 😬😂
“Only travel on Christmas Eve if it’s absolutely necessary” - Of course it’s necessary - for the millions of people in the UK who would rather not spend Christmas alone 🤦🏽♂️
That’s me signed out of Jersey for the week - HOLIDAY MODE ON. Lots of exciting things planned and to top it off on Friday I get to get Man of Honour at my best friends wedding ! Back in Jersey on the 20th ✌🏽 💙❤️
That’s right. Sassy Sue herself. I had so much pleasure in saying I had a shirt to collect in a size small. The same shirt, she refused to find me five minutes before. 💅
I’m all for sporting events ! Think they are great for the economy and a fab way for distracting ourselves from everyday life…. But the state of Trafalgar Square this evening is disgusting and some of the rowdy supporters are just plain RUDE 🤦🏽♂️
On the train back up to Yorkshire for a few days ! It will be the first time I’ve seen my family since April (before I even knew I was moving to London) I’m in desperate need of a life detox, winter clothes and a mum cuddle 😂 see you Wednesday London ❤️💙
The Queen died peacefully at Balmoral this afternoon.
The King and The Queen Consort will remain at Balmoral this evening and will return to London tomorrow.
So Happy to finally announce I’ll be alternate Frankie Valli in the UK tour of Jersey Boys ! Huge shout out to

Luke plays Frankie Valli in the West End production from 27th July!🎙
Who is in charge of the UK casting for this show ? I would hereby love to play another “Frank” in a musical! However If they do a Frank Lampard show - I would probs pass on that one as I’m not right good with a footballs…..
After an amazing but long day preparing for

St Marys RC Primary School Haslingden's summer production of ‘Top of the Pops’ in aid of Bury Hospice was a smash hit.
