Jessie Metcalfe is desperate for the cobbles

Here’s the most unlikely story of the day:

Jesse Metcalfe has revealed that he is desperate for a role in Coronation Street. Well, not exactly ‘desperate’, but he would consider a move to the UK to walk down the cobbles and sample Betty’s hotpot at the Rovers.

He told The People “I love Coronation Street. I am in London at the moment talking to producers so who knows.”

Now there’s a reason to start watching Corrie again!
