Greeted by a large crowd of locals and Labour party supporters the star showed his support for the Labour party and urged people to support for Warrington South election hopeful Faisal Rashid.
The flamboyant entertainer made an impassioned speech pointing out that Labour “stood for the many, not the view” and urged people to vote for the town’s former mayor.
