Soap sensation Jude Riordan, known for his award-winning role as Sam Blakeman in Coronation Street, has been revealed as the first celebrity judge for Worksop’s Got Talent 2024.

Since bursting onto the cobbles in 2020, Riordan has become a household name, scooping up accolades at the National Television Awards, Inside Soap Awards, and TV Times Awards.

“I’m really looking forward to being on the Worksop’s Got Talent judging panel and seeing what amazing local talent there is!” Jude enthused. “I’m sure it’s going to be a fun evening!”

The talent show, now in its 8th year, has raised over £140,000 for Retina UK and boasts eight awards. Tickets for the final on Friday, November 8th, 2024, are already selling fast and can be purchased at www.ticketsource.co.uk/worksopsgottalent.
