Jim Moir, aka Vic Reeves, has been filming his first scenes for Coronation Street.

ITV tweeted a picture of him looking dapper in a three-piece suit on the set and Moir himself tweeted: "Had a brilliant first day on the cobbles. Everyone was so welcoming."

Moir will play television presenter Colin who comes to Weatherfield to film with Norris and Mary after they are chosen to make an appearance on his show. It’s not long before Colin finds himself embroiled in the lives of other street residents. 

He is booked to appear in the long-running soap for three months starting later this summer.
