ITV Corrie star unrecognisable with blonde locks and in dazzling mini dress as he signs up to drag show

Coronation Street star Simon Gregson has undergone an incredible drag makeover that has rendered him unrecognisable. The actor is famed for playing Steve McDonald in the ITV soap but fans are set to see him in a whole new light as he takes on the biggest transformation of his career as he attempts to embrace his inner drag queen in a competition like no other.

Simon is starring in Queens For The Night, a brand new ITV show, which sees well-known faces unleash an alter ego they never knew existed in a bid to be crowned the ultimate winner. Joining him on this unique stage is EastEnders legend Adam Woodyatt, Love Island's Chris Hughes, rugby star Joe Marler and popstar George Shelley as they attempt to master the disciplines of drag, including singing, dancing, lip syncing, impression, comedy or Dragic! (Drag magic).

The show, which airs Saturday night (November 5) on ITV, will be hosted by presenter and drag superfan Lorraine Kelly, she will be joined by an all-star judging panel who will offer their thoughts on our famous novices as they attempt to master this flamboyantly entertaining skill.
