How hilarious!!! Coronation Street’s Norris Cole is set to be outed as a cross dresser this Christmas by his holier than thou land lady, Emily Bishop.

Norris donates a bag of clothes to one of Emily’s church jumble sales, but when the bag splits and ladies underwear tumbles out, Emily begins to ask questions.

Emily confronts her lodger: “I know your private life is your business, but what you get up to in my spare room is most definitely my business. Be honest – are you a transvestite?”

Norris confesses: “I won the underwear in a competition I entered while I was being Noretta Cole, and where I had to describe what my dream date with Pierce Brosnan would be like.

“We’d eat dozens of fresh oysters in a posh restaurant, spend the night flamenco dancing and then take a midnight hot air ride up the M60 orbital.”

A source said: “It’s one of the funniest plots ever.”
