Who's he playing? Uncertain as yet. Could be no one. But we know he loves the show – and told the Daily Star newspaper he wanted a role with Cheryl Cole. "People always think I'm playing when I talk about 'Coronation Street', but I swear it's my favourite show on TV. They got everything - sex, murder, transsexuals. There ain't no other show that can touch it." Rumours are that executives at the top of the show are attempting to think up a way to bring him in for a cameo.
Should we be excited? Er, yes. Unless you don't like Snoop Dogg.
Who's in and who's out this month in soap land? Watch out, there are spoilers contained within. Don't blame us.
