Jodie Comer's Liverpool wish as she says what she misses about home Jodie Comer spoke about 28 Years Later and how she has been shaped by her Liverpool upbringing in her first ever interview with the ECHO

It was amazing to speak to Jodie Comer in her first ever interview with @liverpoolecho.co.uk. The superstar Scouser spoke about #28YearsLater, how her Liverpool roots helped charm Hollywood and why she'd still rather see Everton lift the league over her winning an Oscar

Tributes paid to Alex Connerty who has died aged 19 Alex, from Maghull, was a disability activist who taught the world about primordial dwarfism

Such sad news. Alex was an inspiration to so many and his mum Sue is one of the loveliest people I've had the pleasure of speaking to as an ECHO reporter. Thoughts with the whole family and everyone who knew Alex www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/news/liverpo...

'Gut-wrenching' farewell as Everton's 'bear pit' takes last stand Goodison Park has been Everton's home since 1892 but today will likely see the famous ground host its final Merseyside derby

Weather permitting, Goodison will host its final league derby today.

I spoke to the characters who make a matchday so special about their memories of the wonderful old ground and their feelings about the club moving on

Downfall of 'the big fella' and his 18-strong onion gang "They thought they could hide...they were wrong."

Pretty staggering details in this story. A near-two year trial, 50 tonnes of drugs smuggled into the country - the weight of 30 family cars, 40 tonnes of onions a week to mask the scent of narcotics and up to Β£7bn in possible earnings.

The Beatles fans in tears as Paul shares moments life changed Disney+ documentary "Beatles '64" shows the band greeted by legions of screaming and crying fans as they arrived in America

Really enjoyed Disney's new "Beatles '64" documentary.

Amazing archive footage of the band is matched with moving modern day interviews and it really does capture how they changed pop culture forever

I signed for Liverpool at 15 but my life has changed completely Roy Heaney enjoyed a career in professional sport but he believes it has had a devastating impact on his life

Thought I'd use this Sunday morning to share some recent work.

At the start of this month, I spoke to Roy Heaney.

Roy signed for Liverpool at 15 and enjoyed a career in football and rugby league.

But he now has been diagnosed with early-onset dementia, which he believes is a result of his career

Nile Rodgers 'hasn't experienced anything like' Scouser's gesture The legendary musician spoke to the ECHO in an exclusive interview about his special connection to the city ahead of a show at the M&S Bank Arena next month

Nile Rodgers is loved all over the world but there's something about his music that particularly connects with a Liverpool crowd. It was great to interview the musician about his career and memories from visiting the city for @liverpoolecho.bsky.social ahead of CHIC's show at the end of the month
