Actor Ricky Tomlinson has returned to Brookside as Bobby Grant ahead of the Eurovision Song Contest 2023.
The Royle Family star, 83, has joined a host of famous faces in helping with "some very special BBC filming to demonstrate how this year's contest is 'United by Music'," the broadcaster said. In new images released on Friday, Tomlinson can be seen hanging Ukrainian flag bunting outside the character's family home on Brookside Close, using a yellow and blue step ladder.
The soap chronicled the lives of characters living in 13 houses on the cul-de-sac before it ended 20 years ago, coming to a close on November 4, 2003.
