When Jason Grimshaw wins Mr Gay Weatherfield next week on Corrie, real-life drag artist Dave Lynn will be on screen as the competition host.Dave said: “It’s a really saucy little episode. I was incredibly jumpy before I went on. Walking around in drag past Ken, Deirdre and the others was surreal - it felt like the real thing. They let me ad-lib most of my six scenes. It was a really good laugh although I didn't expect to spend two days standing next to eight men in their underpants.”
