5. 6. 50 Cent
50 Cent - the internationally acclaimed rapper had been appearing at a Manchester stadium gig when he decided to cut a disc straight afterwards and knocked up a small recording studio in Standish for the impromptu session. He and his bling-laiden entourage also made a small hours excursion to Wigan Asda for industrial quantities of fizzy pop. Photo: GETTY

A lot of British TV celebrities have visited Wigan over the years (Esther Rantzen, Tom Baker, Norman Wisdom and Noel Edmonds to name but a few) but we give special place to the magician because he actually set up a shop on Market Street for his namesake son, pictured at The Magic Party Shop, Mesnes Street, Wigan, with wife Debbie McGee Photo: John Leatherbarrow
