He revealed he is currently in the capital for "a few days filming".

There are no details yet on who he will play or what the nature of his character is.


Mitchell was last seen in Corrie playing a friend of Sinead Tinker.


She met Sam who was a fellow hospital patient as she recovered from injuries sustained in the mini-bus crash in January.


Speaking about his role in the soap, Mitchell said: "I obviously got a bit of a lucky break six years ago when I got my first acting job. I hadn't been to acting school or anything like that, so to be on the cast of Coronation Street... is just amazing.


"The more I do, the hungrier I get and the more confidence I gather."
