Coronation Street star Chris Gascoyne, known for playing Peter Barlow on the iconic ITV show over the last 23 years, has landed a huge job away from the soap.
The actor, who made his debut as Peter in the show's 40th anniversary, was showered with praise and support from his fans after The Alban Arena in Saint Albans announced the line-up for one of this year’s pantos.
Announcing the exciting news, the theatre confirmed the news that Gascoyne would be starring as Captain Hook later this year.
