Corrie's Luigi stars in Billy Liar

Remember Luigi, the wonderful waiter from Valandros? The one with the attitude? Well, actor Chris Hannon who played Luigi in Coronation Street's pizza parlour to perfection is turning up on stage in Billy Liar.

The tour kicks off in Cheltenham and then tours the country. Tickets and more info are here.

Let's hear it for Luigi

One of the minor characters I'm loving at the minute is Leanne's stroppy head waiter, Luigi, who works at the pizza place in the precinct. (I know it's called Valandro's but I always want to call it Voldermort's for some reason).

Anyway, Chris Hannon who plays Luigi is doing a great job as the stroppy waiter who serves up sarcasm with the wine list. More Luigi pleasey. Watch him in action right here in a deleted scene from Coronation Street.
