Kevin Kennedy returns to soap

Kevin Kennedy, who played Curly Watts - and is the Corrie character that Coronation Street fans most want to return to the show - has returned to soap. Well, ok it's not soap, it's Daz washing powder to be exact.

Kevin's reprising his Corrie role as a dustbin man to star in the new Daz TV commercial which you can watch online here. There's also a peek behind-the-scenes at the making of the advert, which sounds like it's voiced by John Thomson, better known as Corrie's Jesse Chadwick / General Custard.

You might remember Julie Goodyear reprised her Bet Lynch role in a Daz advert too.

Julie is starring in the brand new advert for Daz alongside Richard Fleeshman's mum Sue Jenkins (who played Corrie barmaid Gloria Todd) and some fella from 'Stenders. You can watch the full advert online here and check out Julie's website here. And then watch behind the scenes filming of the new Daz advert.

Julie will be appearing on ITV1's Loose Women today - Thursday September 4.
