It is no secret that Liverpool has produced dozens of incredibly talented people, from musicians who achieved worldwide stardom to award-winning actors and sportspeople.
But, unless you’re from Merseyside, some of the people who spring to mind when you think of ‘Scouse’ celebrities, may actually be from the other side of the water, on the Wirral peninsula.
One Wirral town which has produced a number of successful people is Wallasey, a coastal town located at the mouth of the River Mersey with beautiful views of Liverpool, lovely beaches and green spaces. From iconic TV chefs to a show-stopping dancer and Hollywood actors, here are some of the most famous faces who actually born, or brought up, in Wallasey.
