Head chorister at Bradford Cathedral by the age of eleven, singing for the Queen at 13; Gareth Gates scorched a path to the final of the first ever ..Pop Idol.. back in 2002. A debut number one single and album followed, followed by a string of top 5 singles, three further number ones, sold out arena tours and to date a staggering 3.5 million record sales. .. After taking some well-earned time out, Gareth appeared back on our TV screens in a documentary called ..Whatever Happened to Gareth Gates?.. The documentary followed Gareth’s experiences in and out of the music industry and his fight to rid himself of his serious speech impediment. He went on to not only do just that, but also to qualify as a McGuire Programme speech coach and instructor to help others with stammers such as his own. He is the youngest UK person to qualify as a speech coach with the programme. With a new found confidence, Gareth took part in his first TV interview since combating his stammer on ..Tonight With Jonathan Ross... .. 2008 has kept Gareth very busy. His successful appearance on ITV1's ..Dancing On Ice.. saw him subsequently taking part in the ..Dancing On Ice Tour.. performing in arenas around the UK, he has been seen kicking a ball for the UNICEF televised fundraising event ..Soccer Aid 2008.. (playing for the winning England team), he performed in ..A Spoonful of Stiles & Drewe.. (a charity gala show celebrating 25 years of the writing partnership between George Stiles & Anthony Drewe where he co-headlined an exclusive preview of material from Soho Cinders, the latest show by the successful duo) and he even found the time to marry long term girlfriend Suzanne Mole in July this year (they have just announced that they are now expecting their first child early next year)! .. After an exciting and eventful year Gareth is again expanding his horizons and seeing out 2008 in pantomime (oh no he isn’t…. oh yes he is…). Starring in ..Cinderella.. as the handsome Prince Charming alongside Gavin and Stacey’s Joanna Page and impressionist, comedian and actor Alistair McGowan, this flagship show promises to see in 2009 with a bang and the start of a new year that promises even more from this amazing talent. .. .. ..

    Lovely to see you again as allways yesterday Gareth.
     I have seen  Les Mis 3 times now and each time I have enjoyed it more.
    My husband also loved the show.
    A bit sad though as it was the last time, before September at the Barbican.
    Love ElaineX
