Thursday, 27 May 2010
Anyone who has been to watch Blood Brothers in the West End recently may spot a familiar face if they watch Coronation Street this week.
Simon Willmont, who plays Eddie in the show about twins who are separated at birth, has landed a cameo role in the ITV1 soap for Monday 31st May 2010, the Worcester News reports.
He will travel up from London's Phoenix Theatre to play a police officer in Weatherfield next week and on June 4th 2010.
However, he said this will not result in him giving up his West End career, as he loves Blood Brothers.
"It sounds cheesy, but it's like being in a big family. Most of the others in the cast I had either toured with or met before, and they are a great bunch," Mr Willmont told the publication.
Earlier this month, former Spice Girl Melanie Chisholm told Digital Spy she had a great time playing Mrs Johnstone in Blood Brothers and will look back on her West End stint fondly.
