Fans of The Pogues will be pleased to see that singer Shane MacGowan will make a Christmas appearance on Coronation Street, says TNT24.ie.

Shane's partner Victoria Mary Clarke posted pictures on Facebook of the Pogues singer enjoying a drink in the Rovers Return with actor Chris Gascoyne who plays Peter Barlow.

Sources to TNT24.ie confirm the episode will air on 20th December.

Ooh, I wonder if he's Deirdre's new fella?  Maybe he was there for some secret filming... but it's unlikely he would be in the main show, who knows?
