The multi-talented star has also appeared on the West End stage in Joseph And The Technicolour Dreamcoat, replacing Jason Donovan in the early 90s, and as Doctor Doolittle in 1998.

While starring in Joseph he released a cover of the show’s Close Every Door, which reached number 27 in the UK singles chart.

Earlier this month, he came out as gay and said in a statement: “You never know what is going on inside someone’s seemingly perfect life, what issues they are struggling with, or the state of their wellbeing – and so you won’t know what has been consuming me for the past few years.

“With the strength and support of my wife and my daughters I am coming to terms with the fact that I am gay.”
