Julie Goodyear in Julian Clary's gay sitcom

When they were in the Celebrity Big Brother house together, Julian Clary and Julie Goodyear joked about opening a gay B & B called The White Swallow.

And now, comedy website Chortle reveals that CBB winner Julian Clary is now planning to create a sitcom set in a gay bed and breakfast, along with Julie Goodyear, who played Coronation Street's Bet Lynch.

Clary says: ‘There is talk of a sitcom based in the gay Bed and Breakfast called the White Swallow which seems a good idea to me. [Julie Goodyear] is very funny and has great comic timing. So I think my people are talking to her people.’
