Mick Miller has urged Simon Gregson to help him land a role on ‘Coronation Street’.
The 69-year-old comedian has issued a come-and-get-me-plea to ‘Corrie’ bosses after praising the production team and casting director for their hard work on last week’s factory collapse storyline, which resulted in the death of character Rana Habeeb (Bhavna Limbachia).
He wrote on Twitter: "I also think they are wonderful, especially my mate @simongregson123 and the production team including the casting director. If you’re ever looking for a character with a bald head and long hair down the sides, I’m your man (sic)"
The ‘Peter Kay’s Car Share’ star even joked he could appear as Simon’s character Steve McDonald’s brother Andy McDonald – who was played by Nicholas Cochrane – who is now residing in Spain.
He tweeted: "I could play your twin, Andy on his return from Spain! They’d have to say he’d had a hard life over there (sic)"
And Simon has backed his pal’s aim to join the show.
He wrote: "I reckon you’d be ace Mick"
Mick’s plea comes after Bev Callard urged TV presenter Lorraine Kelly to "bully" ‘Corrie’ bosses into bringing Nick back to play Andy.
She recently said: "We so want Nick, who played Andy, to come back as well. We’d love the four of us to all be together again."
Lorraine added: "That would be fantastic, let’s campaign for that."
Last summer, Nick hinted he may return to the cobbles, admitting the door has always been left open.
He said: "He went to Spain and then he never came back.
"He was never killed off, the door was left open, they go and visit him quite frequently.
"Well I’m a good excuse for when everyone needs to go on a real holiday, they send them to Spain to go see me."
