Julie Hesmondhalgh in knitted toy shocker

If you're looking for a really good present for a Corrie fan this Christmas you could do worse than buy Harry Hill's TV Burp book. Why? Because there's a wonderful four-page spread - a world exclusive no less - of Julie Hesmondhalgh (Hayley Cropper) 'at home' with Harry Hill's knitted toy. It's all there - the secrets, the shocks, the tears and the love.

The book also includes a Coronation Street photo-story of Ken’s Violent Rampage! Well, it all made me laugh out loud in the middle of Waterstones today.
