Corrie star Anthony Cotton is set to get his own tea time chat show, it has been announced.The 31-year-old joined the soap in 2004 to play the role of Sean Tully and has become a firm favourite winning best actor at the British Soap Awards earlier this year.

He also won the singing competition Soapstar Superstar.

The new show will be filmed in front of a studio audience and will combine celebrity chat with topical humour.

Cotton said: 'I'm delighted to have been given this opportunity. I love working on Coronation Street and producers have been kind enough to allow me to leave the cobbles earlier in the day to get into the studio next door to make the show.

"It's going to be gossipy, light hearted, chatty and irreverent but most of all fun with lots of tea and cake."

Sounds just like what Paul O'Grady already does - but I can't see it being as entertaining, though you never know...

yes sounds like the same idea , not sure he has the same strengh of personality we will see though

His character does have the "gift of gab" so if that extends to his personality he might do well. Hope to see one of the shows sometime.
