Holly and Phil set to feature in Rosie Webster’s Corrie exit
This Morning hosts will play themselves in the cameo.
This Morning hosts Phillip Schofield and Holly Willoughby will make a cameo appearance in Coronation Street, according to the ITV soap’s producer.
Schofield and Willoughby will play themselves and they will have a humorous involvement in actress Helen Flanagan’s exit from the show.
In an interview with the Radio Times, producer Kate Oates said: “Phillip and Holly are coming in for a bit of fun as part of Helen Flanagan’s exit story.
“It will be great comedy and they’re such good sports.”
She will be leaving the show for a second time to go on maternity leave. Flanagan, 27, is expecting her second daughter with Celtic footballer Scott Sinclair. The couple’s first child, Matilda Jessica Sinclair, was born in June 2015.
In an interview on ITV daytime show Loose Women, Flanagan said: “I’m going out in kind of very much a Rosie style.
“The storyline is hilarious. It is really, really funny. I’ve enjoyed that about my character, the comedy.”
If Rosie appearson This Morning alongside Schofield and Willoughby, she would not be the first Coronation Street actor to appear on another ITV show.
In the 1000th episode of The Jeremy Kyle Show, David Platt (Jack P Shepherd) and Tina McIntyre (Michelle Keegan) appeared in a staged attempt to settle their dispute.
Schofield will present the 20th British Soap Awards at The Hackney Empire in London in June. The awards ceremony will be broadcast live on ITV for the first time.
