Chico, who burst into the spotlight in the 2005 series of The X Factor and topped the charts with It's Chico Time, will be at The Shrewsbury Club supporting its Get Shrewsbury Active campaign.

Chico's visit is a joint venture with The Studio in Shrewsbury and he will be demonstrating his Block Fit training programme at The Shrewsbury Club on Sunday at 11am, with locals invited to join him for the one-hour session.

He will also visit Telford College of Arts and Technology on April 24.

Alvin Ward, manager at The Shrewsbury Club, said: "Chico will be launching his new fitness routine, Block Fit, and is visiting quite a few venues around the country. Michelle Read, from our fitness team, is going to learn the routine so we'll be able to offer that at the club."

Carla Watts, a fitness instructor who runs The Studio at Shrewsbury's Castle Business Park, said: "I asked Chico if he would offer an instructors' training day at The Studio on Saturday followed by a masterclass on Sunday.

"The masterclass is open to anyone who wants to experience this fantastic new exercise programme."

Tickets to exercise with Chico are £10.
