The name Jim Whelan may not be instantly familiar to
Coronation Street fans - but his face certainly will be. Jim has played a number of roles on the famous cobbles - he delivered, as a postman, the news to Jack and Vera that they had inherited enough money to buy the Rovers for example. He's also played Weatherfield's vicar for a number of years and has been there to officiate, or referee, a number of big funerals, weddings and baptisms.
Now he has put pen to paper and written an autobiography called
What a Life! The book, available in e-format only, will be published on 20 August at £5.99 and is available from
