=================================================================

A smash hit TV series launched Joe Fagin in to stardom... and he's never even appeared in it.
The scouse singer provides the title song of AUF WIEDERSEHEN, PET (ITV 9.0).
And that catchy number, Breaking away, rocketed him to No. 3 in the charts.
Now he's aiming for a new hit with another Pet spin off record, Get it right/Back with the boys again - the theme songs from the current series.
It's in the charts at No. 53 and looks set to climb.

SUCCESS

Joe, 45, is promoting the new record hard and he's delighted with the TV shows success.
The Geordie builders are pulling in 16 million viewers a week.
Apart from his Pet success, Joe has another lucrative string to his bow - he is the voice behind top TV ads such as the Gotta Lotta Bottle milk campaign.
He said: "Things are going very nicely for me at the moment, and I've got quite a fan following."
