If ever there were a role that would help Antony Costa win favour with his two young daughters, it’s his latest one. The singer last week joined the cast of Mamma Mia! The Party, an immersive theatrical dining experience bringing Abba’s legendary tunes to life – much to the delight of Savannah, nine, and Paloma, six, who were more than willing to help their dad rehearse.
“My youngest has been helping me with Money, Money, Money because she loves that song,” the Blue star, 42, tells hello!. “Every day, she’s been going: ‘Daddy, should we do that song again?’ It’s been great.”
