Philip made his Brookside debut in 1996 as ‘Tinhead’. He was only meant to appear for a few weeks but his contract was extended and after four years he was one of the show’s most popular characters. Earlier this year Phil took part and won Channel Four’s ‘The Games’, narrowly beating fellow ‘The Match’ trialist, Kevin Simm.

It's no surprise that scouser Philip Olivier is a keen Liverpool supporter and he can often be found cheering on the Reds at Anfield. Phil works out three times a week to stay in shape so the training camp shouldn’t worry him.
