Description

The film follows his life from a youngster on the streets of Manchester to playing for Leeds Rhinos, becoming the undercard for Joe Calzaghe as a professional boxer, and being the lead singer of Salford band Hanky Park before struggling with drug and alcohol addiction. Another song making a surprising last minute bid for the Christmas Number 1. The One Direction singer's first solo offering might not be particularly festive, but it's certainly uplifting - especially after performing it on The X Factor final as a tribute to his late mother.

The former Salford Reds and Leeds Rhinos rugby player and middleweight boxer is releasing the album himself on Shinny Records. He has only been stopped once so I expected a tough fight but I feel like I've not even fought and could probably go again!The former boxer eventually sought help for his issues and turned his life around in 2017. He now supports others with a recovery show online. Each show is unique and features a line up of health and wellbeing experts, who offer professional advice and give information about services to viewers tuning in. A singer-songwriter from Salford is making a bid to be Christmas number one after beating drink and drug addiction.

Later on, Lucia Nield features in an exchange with a nine year Shinny played by Jensen Clarke as he drinks from a puddle! It sets the tone perfectly for what promises to be an honest and gritty drama. The 29-year-old from Pendleton hardly broke sweat as he saw off tough Welshman Mark Phillips 40-35 on points and said he felt like he had not even had a fight. Speaking to the Manchester Evening News James said: "For me, this is the best show on the planet because of what we're doing, we're touching on every subject, from bipolar to PTSD, from mental health to addiction. Now three years sober, James has turned to meditation and spirituality to help his recovery. As well as supporting several weekly Alcohol Anonymous groups, he is also writing a book, set to be published next summer, in which he will open up about the true story behind his recovery. The Christmas Official Chart Top 40 will be counted down on BBC Radio 1's Official Chart with Greg James on Friday, 23 December from 4pm. The full Top 100 will be revealed on OfficialCharts.com at 5:45pm.This is why the whole range is both easy on the eye and extremely durable, says the company, making them perfect for both leisurely strolls and high-intensity workouts, such as CrossFit. I want this film to help others face their demons and overcome their disease of addiction. It’s an illness that affects hundreds-of-thousands of people in the country. Jamie calls me a freak because of how fit I am – and people tend not to believe me when I say I’m over 30. IT'S a case of one down and many more to go for James 'Shinny' Davenport after his victorious return to the ring.

Shinny is only forty but has already faced the cycle of dependency as well as the financial hardships which come with it – all of which he discussed openly with us. Martin Talbot, Official Charts Company Chief Executive, said: "It only seems yesterday that the NHS Choir got the nod from Justin Bieber in the race for Christmas Number 1 2015 – but it is so exciting that the annual festive race is almost upon us once again. Who will be the leading contender this year will no doubt only become clear as the starting gun is about to be fired. But, one thing is for sure, the race will be fought as enthusiastically as ever. We can’t wait for it to get underway!" He wants to bring more ‘real life’ to social media, in an age when so many people present a false image of themselves and seek instant gratification. Davenport’s original boxing career only lasted for five bouts, with the highlight coming in his final contest on the undercard of Calzaghe’s victory against Jeff Lacy in 2006. He said: "It was great to get the victory because it feels like I haven't won for ages! With it being such a big bill I was a bit nervous at first and then I lost my gum shield so they had to delay the fight while we got another and that added to the nerves.

I say it as it is,” he continued. “But many men especially feel like they can’t talk about their feelings and this needs to change.”
