Updated 17:27pm on 2 Sep 2008
Cold Feet star John Thomson is joining the cast of Coronation Street.
The actor and comic will play a down-on-his-luck children's entertainer called Jessie.
John, 39, will film three episodes in October but producers hope to tempt him back for a longer spell on the cobbles next year.
Moving in: John Thomson, with Cold Feet co-star Kimberly Joseph, is set to join Coronation Street
A Street spokesman said: 'We are delighted that John is joining the show. John is a fantastic comedy actor and is perfect for the part of Jessie.'
His episodes are due to be seen on screen in mid-December with New Street Law and The Fast Show star John also appearing as a regular character in the new series of ITV1 drama Kingdom.
He follows in the footsteps of other comedians appearing in Weatherfield, including Peter Kay and Roy Hudd.
