English tenor, Russell Watson, was in fine tune at the signing of his latest book, 'Encore' in South Cheshire. 

And the singer, known as 'The Voice', who appeared in Series 20 of 'I'm a Celebrity UK' even predicted who might win the latest 'I'm a Celebrity Get Me Out of here'.  

His latest book is about his rise back to fame after two series health issues. (Photo: Nub News)

He said: "My money was on Tulsa but she was eliminated out of the show so now I reckon Barrie McGuigan unless he get eliminated." 

The opera singer, who lives on a farm near Congleton, drew large crowds at Astbury Meadow Garden Centre last night (Wednesday).

He starred in "I'm a Celebrity" previously and still remembers the days. "It was very cold and I was hungry. We only had 600 calories a day." 

Russell is a big fan of the local community and St Mary's Church, Astbury, where he holds regular fundraising concerts and which holds a special place in his heart.
