AXED Corrie star Ian Reddington is taking a bow — in the new Robin Hood series.
The thesp — who played Vernon Tomlin, a drummer married to Liz McDonald in the ITV1 soap — is joining the drama with Shameless star Dean Lennox Kelly.
He said: “I’m going to be popping up with my bow and arrow in Robin Hood next year. I’ve had to grow a shaggy beard, which is really itchy and untidy.”
Ian, 51, said he hopes to return to Coronation Street — after he has finished filming Robin Hood in Budapest.
He added: “I miss Corrie, but I’m good friends with Dean, so it’s lovely to be working with him and doing new things.”
