My my, the small Midlands town of Wednesbury is going to be bursting at the seams on 22 September – hilariously, Corrie’s Andrew Whyment (butcher Kirk in the soap) is making an appearance at the local butchers. Seriously. Because Coronation Street doesn't pay enough? Our man in Wednesbury (yes, heatworld gets everywhere), Jerome Turner, is already very excited about the event. “It will surely be a very odd day,” he says. “The butcher’s is already a pretty odd place – it's open-fronted and the butcher wears a mobile headset hooked up to a PA so he can do Madonna-style commentary of offers to his adoring fans.” We know where we’re going for our sausages from now on.
