The star may be treading the cobbles now but how can fans forget his stint in the hairdressers at the Solana hotel. While many will likely recognise Tony for the role of Undertaker George in Weatherfield, many won't shake off his past acting credits, particularly that of hairdresser Kenneth Du Beke in the hit sitcom Benidorm, a role he played from 2011 to 2018.
