A plumber is about to realise a decade-long dream of going on tour with his music – as his story is made into a Hollywood film.

Kev Crane, 51, from Quorn in Leicestershire, says he is fitting one more bathroom in January before preparing for a singing tour of football clubs in the spring, after his talents were discovered while he was working.

“I was singing in the bathroom, the next door neighbour heard me singing away, he said to Paul who owns News Reality Records ‘who’s that guy singing in your bathroom?’ he says ‘the plumber’.
