Tom Jones is to play an ageing love machine in a new rom-com for Sky TV.

We know he can sing and encourage women of a certain age to lose all inhibitions and throw their knickers at him but can he make them wet them too?

In the new show, Tom Jones is playing a character not a million miles from his own lothario-esque one while the storyline sees our tanned hero fought over by two British iconic actresses, Brenda Blethyn and Alison Steadman.

The new show, provisionally titled King Of Neds is set for broadcast next year before Tom turns his attention to more traditional territory with a role as judge on The Voice, yet another televisual reality singing contest.

Just what we all need.
