Les Dennis has spoken about becoming a member of the Coronation Street cast.
The comedian signed on to play Michael Rodwell, a petty thief who burgled Gail McIntyre. His character has already been seen committing the crime in the soap.
Speaking to Graham Norton on BBC Radio 2, Dennis spoke about what his character has in store for the future.
"Gail will come and see Michael in prison in a restorative justice storyline... She comes to prison and meets Michael and asks him why he did it," he revealed.
"He's not a career burglar... he's down on his luck, he's lost his business, his family, everything. Maybe he's not the monster Gail thinks he is."
The 60-year-old actor also expressed wishes of becoming a full-time cast member on the soap, saying he'd "love to stay".

"I think [Michael's] going to get a family, which means you might stay if you have a family," the star added.
