Recently Holliday has landed another excellent gig — the role of Shaun Ryder's wife Joanne in a movie.

She will be acting alongside Jack O'Connell and Maxine Peake in the Hollywood film about the Happy Mondays frontman.

The script will draw on Shaun's biography Twisting My Melon where he tells of his days as a drug dealer in Manchester's Hacienda nightclub before the Happy Mondays were propelled into stardom.

The 25 years that followed are a rollercoaster of highs and lows in which Shaun famously walked away from a three million pound record deal, telling bemused band members that he was "just nipping out for a take away."

Within six months the star was in a debtor's court fighting off creditors.

Following the break up of the original Happy Mondays, he made his comeback with new band Black Grape.

In all he has six children. In 2010 Shaun married childhood sweetheart Joanne with whom he has two children.
