Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes! Can't wait. Just hope he can act as well as he sings and looks. x

"Just hope he can act as well as he sings and looks. "

If he can act as well as he could bowl then Corrie watchers may be in with a chance. But as or his singing.....

bowl ?????? NJ

## Other stars to join the cobbles this year include comedian Paddy McGuinnessand Girls Aloud star Sarah Harding. ##

They must be desperate to save the ratings down slide.

Is NJ thinking of Shane Warne?

[Cloverjo]

I think NJ is joking. Isn't he?

[Barsel]

I think he probably is craft. x

shayne ward is the best male singer to ever come of x-factor,note perfect.

[Retrochic]

I have to agree Shane Ward is a fantastic singer. His rendition of 'Over The Rainbow' is one of the best I've ever heard.

[Barsel]

I agree ivor and Retrochic, I knew he would win the first time I heard him sing. The fact that he is also gorgeous and from my hometown of Manchester also helps! I don't know if New Judge was joking when he said /// If he can act as well as he could bowl then /// but he certainly bowls me over. He is to play the brother of Kym Marsh's character (Michelle Connor) and I've just read that she has split from her real life boyfriend!! Hope she doesn't think she can bag Shayne but it wouldn't surprise me if she does. x

I think it's extremely sad that people are becoming known for joining a soap opera, when they have had great careers behind them (I'm excluding X Factor winners and other wannabees from this). Timothy West - a great Shakespearean actor - was advertised the other day as "from Coronation Street" - talk about coming down in the world....

[Ric.ror]

Sir Ian McKellen and Sir Derek Jacobi have all appeared on Corrie
Well maybe we never saw Sir Derek's face but he has been on it

[lady-janine]

I've never heard of him. what does he do?

[melv16]

I've never seen x factor, so he's the greatest leg spinner of all time to me.

[Ric.ror]

Just a shame about his off the pitch activities

[New Judge]

Yes I was thinking of Shayne Warne. Stupid Boy !!!! :-)

Can Shayne Ward bowl, by any chance?

[Bazile]

//Can Shayne Ward bowl, by any chance? //

Well NJ - He's bowled over Barsel

[Barsel]

Absolutely :-) x
Hi boxtops. I did wonder myself why so many people who are already famous for whatever reason, are joining the soaps, but it happens all the time. I know for a fact that some of them actually want to appear in things like Coronation St, but I suppose others will just look on it as a paid job.

[chrissa1]

Does anyone know what they would be paid, for say a three month stint on a soap?

[chaptazbru2]

I thought he was playing Michelle Connor's cousin, not her brother ?

[Barsel]

You're right chaptazbru2, her long lost cousin, not her brother.My mistake. x
