Coronation Street villain Ryan Clayton is set to join BBC's Waterloo Road.
The actor - who played evil rapist Josh Tucker on the ITV soap - will be returning to screens later this year as part of the BBC show's reboot, where he has revealed he will be playing a character called Mike.
Mike is set to be a semi-regular character in the new series and he will join the already announced fellow Corrie stars Kym Marsh, Rachel Leskovac, Sonia Ibrahim and Angela Griffin on the set of the BBC One show.
