STAR MATCHMAKER

Sir Tom helped fellow singer Cerys and her husband get together

TOM Jones isn’t just an incredible vocalist, he is also a brilliant matchmaker.

Former Catatonia singer Cerys Matthews has her long-time friend Sir Tom to thank for setting her up with her husband of 14 years.

In 2011, Cerys married Steve 'Abbo' Abbott, a music manager and member of post-punk band UK Decay.

However, this may well not have happened if the Sex Bomb singer hadn't set them up. Tom had told the pair that they found each other attractive and the rest was history.

At the time, the music manager hadn't even heard of Catatonia because he was living in America.
