Towers Of London frontman Donny Tourette has moved into acting, starring in new film 'What Shall We Do With The Drunken Sailor?'.

The former 'Celebrity Big Brother' star appears alongside Siobhan Fahey from Shakespears Sister and Bananarama, Clive Arrindell and Benjamin Jason Reeves in the film, which is based on the life of artist and model Nina Hamnett and set in '50s Soho in central London.

Hamnett, who died in 1956 after falling out her apartment window and being impaled on the fence 40ft below, is famed for her final words: "Why don't they let me die?"

Filming has been completed on the project, which is now in post-production, but no release date has yet been confirmed.

Whoop. Talentless singer becomes talentless actor. Easy transition. Stop giving this twerp press. It gets him all excited and happy to be alive. No one wants that.

What a pointless, talentless prick. Why can't he just fuck off back to the obscurity he so clearly deserves?

What I really like about Donny that he always inspires emotion - one way or another which has got to be good, shame some people spend their lives being venomous in an anonymous fashion - life is far too short. Long live The Towers of London - woop woop!
