Viva’s managing director Martin Heywood said the team were thrilled to have Paul back at the Church Street venue.

“He played one of his very first UK shows after winning America’s Got Talent here, and it’s great to welcome him again on the All Mouth tour,” Martin said.

“We’ve been trying to get him back ever since, it was such a huge honour to host that homecoming show.”

Paul played for former Butlin’s Hotel, now the Metropole, around the time he appeared on and won ITV’s The Big Big Talent Show, and the following year was booked to headline at the Pleasure Beach’s Paradise Rooms on Mondays and Tuesdays - returning a year later to stage a full production show, playing 12 shows a week for a 16-week season.

“His early days at the Paradise Rooms were at a similar time to Leye and I being at the Alabama - we started out at a similar time, so it’s always good to catch up and welcome him to Blackpool,” Martin added.
