TV legend joins Corrie and you might recognise him from classic sitcom

THE image of Desmond’s star Ram John Holder is one which will take fans of the hit comedy down memory lane.

But I can exclusively reveal the 89-year-old actor will soon be heading into Coronation Street after landing a plum role on the ITV1 soap.

Ram, best known for playing Pork Pie on the Channel 4 sitcom, will now play Ed Bailey’s dad, Sarge, and has already been spotted in Manchester.

A TV insider said: “Ram has already been filming his scenes in Weatherfield though viewers won’t get to see them for some months.

“It’s a substantial role for him to have been cast in, though it will come as second nature he’s a seasoned star of multiple dramas – including soaps.”
