Coronation Street has unveiled the first picture of Vic Reeves on set, ahead of his exciting guest stint on the show.

It was announced back in May that the comedian – whose real name is Jim Moir – would be joining the soap on a temporary basis, playing a television presenter called Colin.

Colin will arrive in Weatherfield to film with Norris and Mary after they are chosen to make an appearance on his series.

But as always on the cobbles, it's not long before Colin finds himself embroiled in the lives of other street residents.

Jim Moir – aka comedian Vic Reeves – is about to end his stint on Coronation Street but could he be set to depart with medical centre manager Moira in tow? Colin is convinced that Norris Cole is his dad after doing some digging and he crosses paths with Moira when he asks her to discreetly help him to do a DNA test with a stolen blood sample of Norris’. Moira is wary about being asked to risk her job but Colin is persuasive and she calls in to see him later to discuss things – which is when they end up sharing a kiss which leads to more. But while Colin is now distracted by his new love interest, Norris is given cause for concern when the medical centre calls to ask him to supply another blood sample as his has been lost. Completely oblivious to Colin’s suspicions and actions, will Norris discover the truth about what is going on – and will Colin be kicked to the kerb? Or will an even more bizarre twist actually reveal Colin to be Norris’ son? Whatever the outcome, it’s nearly time for Jim’s Corrie stint to come to an end and as he asks Moira to go with him to Stoke-on-Trent, will she accept and start a new life with him? Or will Colin leave dejected and alone?

How can a surgery or receptionist or whatever ring and ask for another blood sample. This always needs to be sanctioned by a doctor. Seems a bit crazy to me .

I hope he is not Norris son and also that he leaves alone

Moira has potential, she can be snobby and funny
