John Thomson Joins Coronation Street

Former Cold Feet actor, John Thomson, has joined the cast of Coronation Street.

John will appear as a down-on-his-luck children’s entertainer called Jessie for three episodes next year, but bosses are hoping that he will extend his stay on the show.

A source told The Sun: “Getting John in Corrie is a coup. He is a fantastic actor and a very funny guy.

“He joins a long list of talented comedians who have made the switch to Corrie. He is guaranteed to bring a lot of humour on to Weatherfield’s cobbles.”

A Street spokesman said: “We are delighted John is joining us.”
