Not Going Out star Katy Wix is set to appear in a brand new family sitcom on Channel 4.
The star will appear alongside Extraordinary's Adam Drake in Pigeon, with a release date and further casting yet to be confirmed.
The comedy is about an "empty next filling back up again", with the official synopsis teasing: "Failed dreams and rash life choices have forced Kathryn (Wix) – who thought she had all the answers but didn’t listen to the question - from the big city of Chester back to South Wales and the family home she thought she’d escaped.
"Waiting for her there is mum Mandy, an attention-seeking dance teacher with a touch of suburban glamour, and younger sister Aubrey, a teenage boy trapped in an adult woman’s body."
It continues: "Just up the road is her ex from her teenage years, Roy, a big silly dog trapped in an adult man’s body, and her dad, Rhodri, who moved out years ago and only understands 'women’s issues' when they’re put in language you’d use about a car."

Speaking of her casting, Wix said Pigeon is a show she has "wanted to make for so long."
"The characters have been living in my head, and I can't wait to bring them to the screen. Thank you to Channel 4 for trusting me with this dream! Adam's happy too," she said, to which Drake added that he's "so happy."
Charlie Perkins, head of comedy at Channel 4, added: "We can’t wait for audiences to see this special show- both a culturally timely and hugely familiar family sitcom.
"We’ve loved the process of working with Katy, Adam, and Boffola- amazing creative brains with tenacity and passion to boot."
Shane Allen, chief creative officer at Boffola Pictures, said in a statement: "You know those perfect families who are able to show each other love and are there for you when you need them? They’re great for adverts, but don’t make for very good comedy.
"This sitcom instead brings you a typically wonky working-class family awash with off-the-wall characters. It’s a celebration of everyday eccentricities, idiosyncrasies, and contains at least one idiot.
"Katy and Adam have conjured up something that brings to mind The Royle Family with their depiction of life behind the front door."
Pigeon is set to air on Channel 4.
