Over the seven-day period he prepares for the biggest night of his life – a talent show in his local pub. St Helens-born Johnny is well known for his appearances in the hit ITV comedy drama Benidorm and also for popping up in adverts for tea brand PG Tips with a stuffed puppet monkey! Famous entertainer Jimmy’s cameo role will be filmed on location in North Wales in June and he was recently involved in a photo shoot alongside the central character Womble, played by actor Tom Spencer. The film will also feature the comedy actor Johnny Vegas in a cameo role and his scene will be shot later in the summer.

Jimmy is playing himself as a talent contest judge in the movie, which will also feature the comedy actor Johnny Vegas in a cameo role – his scene will be shot later in the summer. It is about a man called Aloysius Rupert Womble (played by actor and comedian Tom Spencer), who is in his 30s and living with Asperger’s Syndrome in a typical seaside resort town.Children and adults affected by Asperger’s Syndrome have difficulty with social interactions and exhibit a restricted range of interests and/or repetitive behaviours.

He said he found the atmosphere around the production team very warm and enthusiastic. In fact, Jimmy had only planned to be in North Wales for the morning, but did not have any difficulty staying into the early evening as he enjoyed the excitement his visit had generated!

But the famous veteran entertainer insists he will not be like Simon Cowell in The X Factor, telling readers of the Preston-based Lancashire Evening Post in his monthly column he will be a “dream maker, not a dream breaker”. Also on the recent show was Stevie Jaxx and Paula Martine, alongside young performers from their Popstarz Academy. Jimmy’s scene was shot on location at the Central Beach Club in Prestatyn. The filming took most of the day to complete and was under the direction of Lee Howard of Best Picture Films.

The 18 March edition of the North Wales Daily Post newspaper states that well-known entertainer Jimmy “will bring his unique brand of comedy to the climax of the film”, which is being set in and round Prestatyn.

It will feature songs from the Beautiful South’s former lead singer Briana Corrigan and American Pie star Thomas Nicholas as well as a string of original songs written by songwriters especially for the movie.
