Ted Robbins joins Corrie as Mary's new man

Comedian and comedy actor Ted Robbins is joining Coronation Street as Mary's new man. 

Ted will play a character called Brendan and ITV have confirmed the signing today. 

Ted Robbins was born in 1955 in Liverpool, Merseyside, England. He is an actor and writer, known for The Slammer (2006), Calendar Girls (2003) and Eric & Ernie (2011). He starred in Phoenix Nights too.

Sounds like fun!  I wonder what Norris will make of Mary getting a man in her life and if Norris will turn nasty and jealous? Or might he be relieved?

What do you make of Ted Robbins joining the cast of our favourite show?

Ted has appeared on Corrie twice before in minor roles - see them both here.
