SINGER, songwriter and actor Will Young is coming to the Regent Theatre later this year, it has been revealed.

The 32-year-old award-winner beat Gareth Gates to win the first ever Pop Idol in 2002. He’s gone to sell millions of album worldwide and added acting to his repertoire.

Young has appeared in Mrs Henderson Presents, trod the boards at the Royal Exchange Theatre, on TV in the Marple drama The Mirror Crack’d From Side To Side and an episode of Skins.

This year he starred in the new Sky Living supernatural drama Bedlam, about strange goings on at a former asylum being turned into loft-style apartments.

Young, plus special guests, will be at the Ipswich Regent Theatre on November 4. Tickets for the show go on sale at 9am this Friday.
