CORONATION Street ladies' man Dev is to be given a Trinny and Susannah-style makeover as he tries to revive his waning pulling power.
The one-time romeo, actor Jimmi Harkishin, is stung when his teenage daughter Amber tells him he is past it and an "ageing Casanova".
In one hilarious scene to be shown next month his attempt to chat up a sexy customer falls flat and he ends up looking ridiculous. Amber, played by Nikki Patel in the ITV soap, helps him buy clothes and slim down.
A Corrie source said: "It will hit home to men in their 40s and 50s who consider themselves lads about town. It also keeps up with the boom in makeover programmes."
