🟠 "[Reporter] Do you fear for your position?" "That's for others. The one thing about me is I don't quit because of a bad performance. That's for others to discuss. I have to say it's not easy." #Blackpool head coach Steve Bruce #utmp | #bbcfootball

Peter Robinson from #Rishton was shocked to be the ‘Unexpected Star’ on Michael McIntyre’s Big Show over the weekend! 😮

He was nominated by his family as he loved to sing for patients in hospitals when his wife was also receiving end-of-life care. Ft. @McInTweet
