Michael Hawkins played John Lennon in the successful stage show Cilla: The Musical based on the life and career of Liverpool entertainer Cilla Black, and, in his first TV role, George Harrison in the 2014 ITV serial biopic Cilla, with Sheridan Smith taking the title role.

The 35-year-old, a member of "parody band" Ugly Baby, said even as a born-and-bred Scouser he was not immune from scrutiny for his portrayal of Harrison in Cilla.

The Kray twins were arrested and both the Righteous Brothers and Cilla Black were in the top 10 with You've Lost That Lovin' Feelin'.

Blind Date, hosted by the late Cilla Black, ran on ITV between 1985 and 2003.

Other category winners this year included Cilla who was the winner of the "connected" category, as a school cat at Outwoods Primary School in Warwickshire.
