Tommy was joined by family, friends and stars from the sporting and showbiz world at The Printworks as his new tell-all BBC documentary, Tommy: The Good. The Bad. The Fury, aired for the first time on Tuesday night.

A crowd of fans gathered around the red carpet at The Vue cinema in The Printworks, which was decked out with giant portraits of Tommy on the digital ceiling and on the video billboards outside as stars from TV and sport headed in to the screening.

And when Salford-born Tommy, 26, emerged to wave at the crowds there were huge cheers and yelps of “We love you Tommy”.

Tommy, 26, told the M.E.N he was so grateful for the support he has received, especially on home turf. He said: “It's amazing, I’m happy to be in my hometown, I’m thankful to everyone who turned out, I love the city of Manchester, I love the people in it, and it’s where I’m from! It’s my home town, so to have this [premiere] here, five minutes from where I grew up, it’s a dream come true.”
