Former Hollyoaks star Will Mellor is reportedly set to return to Coronation Street as Harvey Gaskell following the announcement he will be sashaying onto the dancefloor for this series of Strictly Come Dancing.
The actor was unveiled as the first contestant from the new series of the ballroom dancing show, with the new Strictly star admitting his latest venture is "little out of my comfort zone". Will also revealed a poignant reason for signing up for the show - explaining how losing his dad in 2020 has motivated him to "grab life and create new memories".
The actor, 46, starred alongside Sheridan Smith as Gaz in cult Noughties sitcom Two Pints Of Lager And A Packet Of Crisps, also landing roles in the likes of Line Of Duty and Broadchurch. He also hit the cobbles as "out-and-out baddie" drug lord Harvey, who now looks set for another appearance in an upcoming storyline after he was dramatically thrown into prison, Metro reports.
