at Sefton Park: “Mel is a good mate of mine, but she’s a Scouse legend too so it just felt the perfect chance to do something a bit special together - thankfully she was up for it!

"The whole event was just a brilliant experience and getting a few mates out on stage to join me really gave it an extra bit of something on top, but doing something marking the memory of the Hillsborough victims just felt right.

“Mel is such a supporter of that cause too, she really understands what it means to local people and has been involved with raising money for the support group over the years.”

Wearing a retro Everton shirt while Mel wore a 90s Liverpool kit, the pair talked movingly about “uniting the city” with Tom later adding: “It’s a special city with an amazing history, and obviously an incredible sporting rivalry, so hopefully we managed to get the tone just right.

“There were a few bantery boos from the Everton fans when Mel came out in the retro Liverpool kit, so I ran backstage and changed into an old Everton one to redress the balance, it seemed to go down well.

“Hopefully people had a great time as well as taking a second to remember the 97 people who lost their lives as a result of the Hillsborough disaster.” Tom was also joined by local rockers The Zutons, YouTuber KSI and pal Ella Henderson.
